What is an Inspection?
The home buying process can be confusing and stressful. Not only do you need
to consider things such as price and location, you also have to worry about
whether the house itself has any hidden problems that could become costly
surprises down the road.
As professional Home Inspectors, its our job to look for those hidden
problems for you. The Home Inspection is an unbiased, professional assessment of
the condition of the house. It provides you an expert opinion and professional
report on the condition of the physical structure and various systems within a
house. Giving you peace of mind on what is likely the largest purchase youll
ever make.
In order to prepare the report, an inspector must conduct a visual inspection
of the house. The inspection process typically takes about 3 hours to complete.
This of course may vary, according to the size and condition of the home. We
strongly encourage you to accompany the inspector during the inspection. This
will give you a chance to ask questions and become familiar with the systems of
the home.
We will inspect all the structural elements and systems of the home. Items
that will typically be included in an inspection are:
- Framing (structure)
- Roof and attic
- Foundation
- Walls
- Electrical system
- Plumbing system
- Heating and air conditioning systems
- Kitchen
- Bathrooms
Additional items and systems unique to a particular home can also be
inspected.
When the inspection is complete, well tell you of any problems that were
discovered and discuss them with you. We will also tell you about any routine
maintenance that should be performed, as well as answer any questions you may
have. You will also receive a full written report of the inspection.
Our goal is to discover and inform you of anything we find that might affect
your purchase decision. Well tell you about any problems we find, and make
repair recommendations. Well also inform you of what maintenance tasks are
required to keep the home and its systems in top condition.
