Home Inspection Overview
A home cannot fail an inspection. A professional home inspection
gives you an independent, unbiased view of any problems and
their solutions, so that you will have all the facts you need
to make a sound, informed decision.
Depending on the size and condition of the home, a thorough
home inspection will take no more than four hours, usually
between an hour and a half and three hours. Ideally, you will
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 have found with any problem areas noted, so you
can easily identify them. Our home inspectors provide a free
telephone consultation after your inspection.
A thorough home inspection will include
the following:
~ Roof (shingles, flashings, chimneys, vents, trim
and gutters, drip edges, skylights, downspouts, and other
visible roof 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)
~ Heating and Cooling Systems (furnace, air cleaning
parts, ductwork, electronic monoxide testing, 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)

ventilation, posts, vapor barriers, utility attachment,
structural items, floors and walls, and columns) ~ Exterior

lintels, vents, entryways, and other visible exterior related
