Inspection Overview
A home or building cannot fail an inspection. A professional inspection gives you an independent,
unbiased evaluation of the home, so that you will have all the facts you need to make a sound,
informed decision.
Depending on the size and condition of the property, a thorough inspection will take no more than
four hours, usually between an hour and a half and three hours. Ideally, you may accompany your
inspector during the consultation, so that you will have visual reinforcement of your written report.
We take our inspection reports seriously. Every inspection is a complete and thorough analysis of
all the major systems and components in the home. The report includes a clear description of what
we've found with any problem areas noted, so you can easily identify them. Our inspectors also
provide a free telephone consultation after your inspection.
A thorough property inspection will include the following:
~ Roof (shingles, flashings, chimneys, vents, trim and gutters, drip edges, skylights, down spouts,
and other visible roof related items)
~ Attics (insulation, ventilation, rafters, joists and collar ties, trusses, wiring attachments, and other
visible related items)
~ Plumbing and Fixtures (water pressure, water distribution system, hose bibs, sinks and faucets,
bath/showers and toilets, sanitary system, and other plumbing system components)
~ Interior (floors and ceilings, walls, stairs (if applicable) and banisters, finishes, sinks, cabinets,
shelving, built-in appliances, smoke detectors and safety-related items, and other visible
interior-related components)
~ Heating and Cooling Systems (furnace, air cleaning parts, ductwork, electric gas sniffer testing,
air conditioner and lines, and other visible related HVAC components)
~ Electrical Systems (service entry and clearances, service panel, switches and outlets, visible
wiring and junction boxes, grounding system, and other related electrical components)
~ Basements, Crawl Spaces, and Foundation (insulation, ventilation, posts, vapor barriers, utility
attachment, structural items, floors and walls, and columns)
~ Exterior (siding materials, attachments, windows, doors, sashes and lintels, vents, entryways,
and other visible exterior related components)
~ Decks and Porches
~ Fireplaces
~ Overall Structure
