What Our Home Inspection Covers
Our comprehensive home inspection services include a detailed evaluation of all accessible areas of the property. We leave no stone unturned in ensuring you have a complete picture of the home's condition. Here’s what our inspection covers:
1. Structural Components
We assess the foundation, framing, and overall structure of the home to identify any signs of damage, shifting, or settling. Our inspection includes:
- Foundation: We check for cracks, water intrusion, uneven flooring, and other signs of foundation issues.
- Roofing: We inspect the roof for leaks, damaged shingles, flashing, gutters, and downspouts to ensure it’s in good condition and properly draining water away from the home.
- Exterior: This includes the siding, windows, doors, and trim to identify any areas needing repair, sealing, or painting.
2. Interior Components
The interior inspection focuses on the primary living spaces, including walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors. Our inspector checks for:
- Moisture and Water Damage: We look for signs of leaks, mold, and water damage in walls, ceilings, and around windows.
- Doors and Windows: We ensure all doors and windows operate properly and check for adequate insulation and sealing to prevent drafts and energy loss.
- Attic and Insulation: We inspect the attic for proper ventilation, insulation levels, and signs of water damage or pest intrusion.
3. Plumbing Systems
Our plumbing inspection covers everything from the water supply to the drainage systems. We examine:
- Pipes and Fixtures: We check for leaks, corrosion, water pressure issues, and the overall condition of pipes, faucets, toilets, and showers.
- Water Heater: We assess the water heater’s age, condition, and safety features to ensure it’s operating efficiently and safely.
- Drainage: We inspect the home’s drainage systems, including the condition of sinks, tubs, and toilets, to ensure proper water flow and prevent future plumbing problems.
4. Electrical Systems
A safe and reliable electrical system is essential for any home. Our electrical inspection includes:
- Wiring and Outlets: We check the wiring throughout the home for frayed wires, outdated materials, and overall electrical safety. We also ensure that outlets are correctly grounded and functioning.
- Circuit Breaker Panel: We inspect the electrical panel for proper labeling, sufficient capacity, and signs of wear or overheating.
- Lighting and Fixtures: We test light switches, fixtures, and ceiling fans to ensure they operate safely and correctly.
5. HVAC Systems
Maintaining a comfortable and energy-efficient home requires well-functioning heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. We evaluate:
- Furnace and Air Conditioning Units: We inspect the condition, age, and functionality of the heating and cooling systems, including ductwork, vents, and filters.
- Thermostats: We ensure thermostats are correctly installed and operational, providing accurate temperature control.
- Vents and Airflow: We check for proper airflow throughout the home to maintain indoor air quality and comfort.
6. Appliances
We inspect built-in appliances, such as the stove, oven, dishwasher, and garbage disposal, to ensure they are in proper working order. Our inspection helps identify any potential maintenance needs or safety concerns.
7. Additional Inspection Services
Beyond the standard inspection, we offer specialized services to address specific concerns, such as:
- Radon Testing: We provide professional radon testing to ensure that your home is free from dangerous levels of this harmful gas.
- Mold and Moisture Inspection: We inspect for signs of mold and excessive moisture, particularly in basements, attics, and bathrooms.
