When we inspect your home or your future home we start on the exterior with a thorough walk around of the entire property. This portion of the inspection includes the roof, siding, soffits, gutters, downspouts, windows, doors, A/C, electric meters, gas meters, garage doors, sidewalks, steps, decks, handrails, driveway, foundation, and the grading of the yard around the house for proper drainage. A
ny potential issues are photographed and described in our detailed inspection report. Next we will enter the property to start the interior inspection. Our first step is in this process is remove our shoes or place plastic shoe covers on to maintain the current integrity of the home. Our interior inspection will include; plumbing fixtures, furnaces, fireplaces, light fixtures, receptacles, GFI's, electric panel, ductwork, doors, drawers, latches, insulation, attics, roof trusses, floor joists, drains, vents, washer drains, dryer vents, water meters, mainline water shutoff, ceilings, floors, and foundations. Once again, any potential issues will be photographed and described in our digital report. We request that any animals that could possibly interfere with our inspection be put in a kennel or separate room to avoid an escape or confrontation. Once we have completed the inspection we will go over the items of concern and give you a brief tour of where all the important utility items are located, so if an emergency happens you will know how to turn off all the water, all the electricity, all the gas, and be able turn the furnace or water heater off if needed. This is also a great time for us to answer any concerns or questions you may have about the property.
