We visually inspect the major systems of the house. These include:
Exterior:
- Slope, grading and drainage of the property
- Foundation and exterior walls
- Porches and decks
- Windows, doors, headers and sills
- Fascia, soffits and eaves troughs
- Roof, flashings, vents and chimneys
- Garage and/or carport
Interior:
- Foundation walls, basement floor, posts and beams
- Waterproofing, moisture penetration, wood rot, etc.
- Electrical service and wiring
- Plumbing supply, waste drainage and fixtures
- Heating, air conditioning (summer only) and ventilation
- Floors, walls, ceilings, doors and windows
- Attic insulation and ventilation
Our goal is to identify any existing major problems that would affect a typical purchaser’s buying decision. We will add significantly to your knowledge of the home or property, but still cannot tell you everything about the house or property. All home and commercial inspections are entirely visual. No destructive testing is performed. The inspection and report will put you in a much better position to make your decision.
