A Home Inspection is a comprehensive Inspection of the systems and components that make up a home. Our inspectors examine a wide range of components in the home from the roof to the foundation, including the electrical system, plumbing, and HVAC equipment. We also check for any signs of water damage, mold, or pest infestations. With our thorough inspections, you can rest assured that you will have all the information you need to make an informed decision about your purchase.
Finding and buying the ideal property can be a dream come true. However, it is also likely to be the largest investment you will ever make. Getting a home inspection can help you buy with confidence and avoid costly repairs.
A pre-listing inspection provides sellers with upfront information about the condition of their property. This inspection can give the sellers time to make repairs if needed, can strengthen negotiating power, and can help the sellers from being caught off guard in the middle of a transaction.
Let's face it, building a new home is complicated and often times homes are built too fast. Frequently, new construction involves numerous subcontractors and a wide array of vendors whose competence and craftsmanship may vary widely. All have their own interests in mind. County inspectors can and do miss code violations. On top of all of that, sometimes mistakes just happen. An independent inspector can provide another set of eyes on the building process and will represent the buyer's best interests.
New homes can have problems too. Most builders usually provide a 1yr warranty period on defects. The catch here is that the builder isn't going to find the defects for you. Some defects will be obvious and some can be hidden from view. Hiring a home inspection can help the homeowner find these defects before its too late. A complete and comprehensive home inspection is recommend before the 1yr warranty expires.
Most homeowners do not keep up with recommended fireplace maintenance. As a result, an accumulation of ash, soot and debris can restrict the flow of air and cause fires. A complete fireplace inspection is a good idea for any home with a fireplace because it is a major safety issue. Ask your home inspectors for this inspection.
During home inspections, many roofs are too steep, too high or too unstable to be safely walked and accessed from a ladder by home inspectors. Therefore, we offer high quality aerial footage from a drone which can provide valuable insight into the condition of hard to access roofs. Drone inspections are offered separately or can be added to standard home inspections at 1/2 price.
Sewer line issues are hidden out of site during typical home inspections and can cost thousands of dollars to repair. Valuable information can be obtained prior to purchasing a home with a sewer line inspection. This inspection can be performed by home inspectors with a high tech camera system. It is inserted into the sewer line and will capture 360 degree footage of the pipe to ensure the sewer lines are still intact and functional.
