Inspection Overview

A home cannot fail an inspection. A professional home inspection gives you an independent, unbiased view of any problems or conditions that may exist, 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 usually between two and a half and four hours. Ideally, you will accompany me during the consultation, so that you will have visual reinforcement of your computer-generated report. If you are unable to attend the inspection, digital photos are available at an additional cost.

I take my inspections and 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 I have found with any problem areas noted, so you can easily identify them.

~ Electrical Systems (service entry and clearances, service panel, switches and outlets, visible wiring and junction boxes, grounding system, and other related electrical components)	~ Plumbing and Fixtures(water pressure, water distribution system, hose bibs, sinks and faucets, bath/showers and toilets, sanitary system, and other plumbing system components)
