The purchase of your home is possibly one of the biggest investments that you will make. The purpose of a home inspection is to identify possible problems and safety issues with your future home. For a potential buyer; it is to give you a piece of mind that you know about the home before the purchase.
In a home inspection, the residence is inspected for structural, electrical and mechanical issues that are not up to today’s standards when a home is constructed and items in the house that may be in need of repairs. The inspection will also address any safety concerns that may exist in the home.
The Inspection Report will include the following:
· Structural System that include the type of foundation, grading and drainage, roof covering materials, roof structures and attics, walls (interior & exterior), ceilings & floors, windows, stairways, fireplaces, porches, balconies, decks, and in some cases carports.
· Electrical Systems that include the service entrance panel and the branch circuits.
· HVAC that includes the heating system and the cooling system.
· Plumbing System that include the distribution system, fixtures, drains, water heating equipment, hydro message therapy equipment, gas distribution system and gas appliances.
· Appliances that include dishwashers, food waste disposal units, range hood, ranges, stoves, oven, built in microwaves, exhaust system in baths, garage door openers and dryer exhaust.
Upon completion of the onsite inspection, a written report with photos will be prepared for the client with any findings from the physical inspection. Examples of things that may be noted in the report are slow drains, switches & outlets that don’t work, to water penetration in the attic and walls or a garage door opener that is not working properly; just to name a few.
