Home Inspections

When you hire a home inspector, you're hiring an experienced professional who has training and experience in the building industry. It is our job to not only evaluate the condition of the home's major systems and structural integrity, but also to evaluate how these systems are working together and to identify areas that need to be watched, repaired or replaced.

Our Property Inspection involves a comprehensive analysis of 400+ items.

VENTILATION - Attic ventilation and insulation play an important role in moisture, coneets densation, roof life, and so much more - truly a key factor in how your home is functioning.

ROOF - The type, style, layers, quality, installation and more are checked. We will perform a visual inspection of both the exterior roof and attic areas.

HEATING AND COOLING - We look at the age, condition and safety of each. The wrong burn pattern and moisture production can cause premature heat exchanger failure and possibly carbon monoxide.

STRUCTURE - We complete a thorough, visual inspection on the inside and outside of the structure from the attic to the foundation.

DRAINAGE - Inadequate or reversed drainage and grading cause most water problems. Proper gutters and downspouts are another important part of moisture control.

PLUMBING - Inadequate water flow, water pressure and drainage are just the start of our inspection.

ELECTRICAL - We check double tapping, undersized wiring, undersized services and more!
