Structural Composition Inspection
Our home inspectors conduct a thorough structural composition inspection focusing on the key components that affect your home’s safety and longevity. We examine the roof for signs of leaks, moisture buildup, or condensation that could lead to costly repairs, and for properties in areas with severe weather conditions, we inspect the roof trusses to verify they are securely holding the frame and meeting local standards.
We also assess the walls and floors for cracks, structural settling, or water damage that could compromise the home’s integrity. Our detailed evaluation helps uncover hidden issues early, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of the property’s condition.
Plumbing Inspection
Our professional plumbing inspection ensures that all pipes and drains are functioning properly and free from leaks or damage. We carefully check for any blockages that could prevent water from flowing smoothly through the system.
All wastewater and sewage systems are thoroughly evaluated to ensure they meet safety and health standards, protecting you from potential health hazards.
We also inspect for signs of water ingress and egress to identify any leaks or moisture issues that could lead to structural damage or mold growth, ensuring your new home is safe and healthy.
Insulation and Ventilation Inspection
Our home inspection includes a thorough check of insulation and ventilation systems to ensure optimal energy efficiency and indoor air quality. We operate all venting fans throughout the property to confirm they are functioning properly.
We carefully evaluate the condition of the attic crawl space insulation, documenting any areas that need improvement to help reduce energy costs and prevent moisture buildup.
If you have any questions about your home’s insulation or ventilation, we encourage you to ask — we’re here to help you understand every aspect of your home’s condition.
Exterior Faults Inspection
Our home inspection includes a detailed evaluation of the exterior of the property to identify any faults or damage. We thoroughly check key areas such as decking, foundation settlement, doors, floors, and walls for signs of wear, cracks, or structural issues.
Ensuring that all exterior components are in proper working condition helps protect your investment and maintain the home’s curb appeal and safety.
Interior and Appliances Inspection
The interior condition of a home is just as important as the exterior. We thoroughly inspect all interior components, including doors, floors, stairways, countertops, cabinetry, and built-in appliances to ensure everything is functioning properly and free from damage.
Our detailed assessment notes any faults or wear and tear, helping you understand the true condition of the living spaces and household systems before you buy.
Heating and Air Conditioning Inspection
Maintaining proper heating and air conditioning is essential for comfort and energy efficiency. Our inspection includes checking the operational condition of the home’s heating systems and air conditioning units.
Roofing Inspection
Our comprehensive roof inspection focuses on evaluating the roof’s durability, condition, and safety. We check for signs of damage, wear, or weak spots that could lead to future leaks or structural issues.
Overhanging trees near the home can attract rodents and cause leaf buildup, which can damage the roof over time. We assess these risks during our inspection.
We also inspect the gutters and drainage systems to ensure proper water flow and prevent water damage. If the home includes a chimney or skylight, we verify that these features are sealed and functioning properly.
Our goal is to ensure the home remains safe, dry, and hygienic for our clients.
Electrical Inspection
Our thorough electrical inspection covers all wiring, electrical connections, and components within the home to ensure everything is safe, compliant, and functional for domestic use.
We carefully examine conductors, grounding equipment, and electrical distribution panels to verify proper installation and identify any potential hazards.
Additionally, we inspect the placement and functionality of smoke detectors to ensure they meet safety standards and provide adequate coverage throughout the home.
