Our residential property inspection is an investigative visual evaluation of the most readily accessible areas of a home. Each inspection includes a thermal imaging scan whenever necessary to qualify suspected areas of moisture intrusion, missing insulation, leaking air ducts, etc. Whether you’re buying or selling, a quality home inspection can reveal hidden and costly issues so that they may be addressed before you close the deal. Making your buying decision much easier and more confident.
Selling a home? Then a comprehensive inspection will be a valuable asset to a successful transaction. Before your home hits the market, we’ll thoroughly look it over to identify any issues. Whether you choose to schedule repairs or simply disclose any discovered defects to potential buyers, a Pre-Listing Inspection will strengthen the negotiating process by establishing open communication and trust.
A 4-Point Inspection is a basic evaluation of four critical areas of a home—the HVAC systems, the roofing system, the electrical system, and the plumbing system. This inspection is often required by insurers before they’re willing to issue or renew a policy on an older home.
Sometimes the weather can take a turn for the worse, but that doesn’t mean that you should fear for your home’s ability to hold up to the elements. There are countless wind mitigation methods that can drastically reduce the risk of damage to your home. We’ll carefully evaluate a property and report on which implements are in place—potentially qualifying you for numerous insurance credits.
At your 11-month mark, you’ll want to take advantage of your 11-month warranty and get an inspection on your home. If something is found in the inspection, the best part, it is likely covered in a warranty. This means you won’t be paying out of pocket for repairs or replacements.
When you’ve invested in a brand-new home, you deserve the peace of mind of knowing that the property is safe and sound. As the building process draws to a close, we’ll perform an unbiased and comprehensive third-party evaluation of the structure and any installed systems. If we uncover any issues during the inspection, you will have a chance to address them with the builder before you move into your new home.
Are your sinks and tubs emptying too slowly? We use a special camera to scope the sewer line to visualize any blockages that are interfering with the plumbing system’s proper drainage. Finding and addressing such problems now can head off catastrophic and expensive repairs later.
While mold has little or no effect on some people, others (including those with sensitivities) can experience a number of health problems. Exposure to mold spores can cause symptoms like runny noses, coughing, sneezing, watery eyes, and rashes. If somebody is asthmatic or allergic to mold, their reaction can be even more intense. Even if you or your family aren’t at risk for mold health problems, it’s always a good idea to identify and remediate it before it spread.
