1. Water, Water Everywhere

One of the biggest categories on a home inspector’s checklist has to do with moisture. Excess moisture is one of the most problematic issues a house can have .We’ll check for leaks in the attic and basement, make sure the plumbing system is in good shape, and ensure that there are no signs of mold.

2. Structure and Foundation

If the foundation of a building is sound, you’ll be in great shape to spend years in that house. But if there are problems, you need to know up front. Some structural and foundation issues can be resolved, but we’ll make sure you know your options. The roof, ceilings, doors, windows, and floors will all get examined thoroughly.

3. Electrical System and Appliances

If anything can be turned off or on, we’ll look it over. It’s absolutely imperative that the electrical system work perfectly, with no shorts or overloaded circuits. Particularly with older homes, this step is critical. Building codes have changed significantly over the years, and not all older homes have been updated to current standards.

4. Specialty Inspections

Got a pool or detached garage? We are experienced in performing specialty inspections on a wide variety of additional structures and features. These can be added to the full inspection for an additional fee.
