INSPECTION SERVICES

Home inspections typically range from 2-4 hours long depending on the size, condition, age of the house, and the number of systems to be inspected. A home is a huge investment and you should expect a good return on your investment. If you do not have all the facts up front it reduces your ability to negotiate the sale price and could cost you more in repairs later. You are invited and encouraged to follow along with me as we walk through your new home.

HOW IT WORKS

Home inspections cover nearly every element in and around a home and other structures on the property. Roofing, full exteriors, structural elements, full interiors, plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning, and all of the components of these are subject to inspection.

The ICA program teaches the “Outside-In, Top-Down” approach, which is common throughout the industry. It’s not just a matter of preference, though. There’s a reason for this method, and it leads to a more thorough job.

Inspections begin on the outside of the property, walking around the exterior of home. Next, the roof is inspected, then the garage, and finally the inspector goes inside the home.

Once inside, the inspection starts at the top, preferably in the attic, and works down through the house, checking floors, walls, plumbing, stairs, and other elements until he reaches the crawlspace or basement. The crawlspace is last because any leaks that emerge while inspecting the plumbing inside the home have the chance to drip down and be noticed.
