What I Inspect
I will conduct a thorough inspection of your home, inside and out.
As a NACHI-certified professional home inspector, I have the knowledge and expertise to provide you with a thorough and professional, non-intrusive, visual inspection of your home, from roof to foundation.
Outside the home, I will check the exterior walls, roof, driveway, deck, etc., then I will move inside to examine the walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows. The heating, air-conditioning, plumbing, and electrical systems will all be examined to ensure that they function as intended. Bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms receive a thorough check, along with the attic and basement or crawl space.
Here are some of the many items I'll be evaluating during your home inspection:
- Foundation and support structure
- Fireplaces, damper door and hearth
- Roof systems, flashing and trim
- Skylight, chimney and other roof penetrations
- Basement seepage
- Safety controls
- Water heater
- Ventilation
- Electrical capacity & components
- Structural integrity
- Steps and stairs
- Heating system
- Central Air Conditioning system
- Walks and driveways
- Built-in appliances
- Plumbing system & fixtures
- Garages, Carports, Workshops or other external buildings
- Surface drainage
- Windows & doors
- Insulation
- Gutters & downspouts
- Decks
- Sump pumps
- Well water quality
- Main water shut off valves
- Crawlspace
If any significant deficiencies are revealed, a recommendation will be made to contact a licensed contractor of your choice for a professional assessment.
I invite you to come along and watch as I inspect your home, and you are free to ask questions at any time during your home inspection. If you are pressed for time, you may visit the property near the conclusion of the inspection for a complete review, however, your presence is not necessary.
