A moisture meter will be used during the inspection at no extra cost as necessary to qualify any suspicions we have about exterior moisture intrusion.
Additional Inspection Services
Pre-Listing Inspection
With this inspection service, we can help you sell a home more confidently and with less chance of experiencing delay or a possible falling out with prospective buyers. We’ll do so by thoroughly inspecting the home prior to it being listed, informing you about any defects we discover so that you have time to act on that knowledge. Whether you choose to make repairs or to simply notify prospective buyers of the issues, it will enable the buyer to be more confident now that they know exactly what they’re purchasing.
New Construction Inspection
Before closing on your investment for a newly constructed home, we highly recommend scheduling this inspection service. We’ll arrive to conduct the inspection prior to the builder’s final walkthrough, giving us a chance to thoroughly assess the property while there is still time and availability for changes to be made if necessary. This will help you make a more protected purchase by enabling you to negotiate repairs and improvements that need to be carried out ahead of final closing.
Commercial Property Inspection
This inspection service is aimed at commercial investors who are preparing to purchase virtually any type of property—from small retail buildings, to expansive industrial facilities. We’ll inspect the structures on-site and the currently installed mechanical systems, providing a detailed inspection report that will be a tremendous asset to you and your partners leading up to and through final negotiations.
11th Month Warranty Inspection
A new home is typically protected under the builder’s warranty for one year after final closing. As that date draws closer, it’s important to schedule this inspection service so that we can provide an unbiased assessment of the property’s current condition. If defective areas are identified, there’s a good chance that certain repairs are covered by the warranty—potentially saving you hundreds or thousands of dollars!
Home Maintenance Inspection
A Home Maintenance Inspection will help you avoid having your home fall into disrepair due to neglected maintenance. We’ll assess the condition of most visible and readily accessible areas, taking careful note of the existing maintenance issues we identify so that we can advise you accordingly—providing home maintenance tips that are specific to our findings.
Re-inspections
Re-inspections are offered to our clients who have recently had us inspect a home that was found to contain defects that the seller later agreed to repair. Once the seller has reached out to let you know that repairs are complete, we can return to the property to make sure that’s the case—evaluating the components that were replaced or modified to ensure that they have been restored to good condition.
WDI Inspection
Wood-destroying insects such as termites are never good news for homeowners, and if there’s an issue to be aware of, you want to get on top of it as quickly as possible. For this inspection service, we’ll thoroughly assess your prospective home for any clues that lead us to existing termite infestations, as well as previously inflicted damage. With this knowledge, you may be able to negotiate any necessary repairs or pest removal with the seller so that you don’t get stuck paying out of pocket.
Radon Testing
Radon takes an impressively long time to form, concentrating deep underground until the gas finds an opportunity to escape through the surface. Once this occurs, radon gas can potentially enter homes—causing a health risk to residents. Radon is highly carcinogenic, and difficult to detect conventionally. That makes it doubly important to have a trusted professional install a specialized radon monitor to determine whether or not radon gas is at a safe level inside the home.
