A home inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of all visible and accessible components. It is a snapshot in time of a home’s current condition. Homes do not “pass” or “fail” an inspection.

A report is created to include  details of what the inspector saw, any potential problems or defects, and what the inspector recommends to improve and maintain the property.

Safety issues are our main priority. Anything that may harm children or the occupants of the home is immediately called out. We do not want anyone to get hurt from faulty or outdated building practices and standards. 

Roof damage, weathering, and aging is our next priority. Roof inspections are crucial for identifying small problems before the become expensive nightmares. A tiny leak can suddenly become a flood during a storm.

Water damage is another major concern. Water is a home’s worst enemy and the damage can be very expensive to fix. If gone unnoticed, water can cause damage to the foundation and lead to issues like mold and mildew. Wood flooring, doors, and windows may also warp.

Radon is a radioactive, tasteless, and odorless gas that is naturally occurring.  Radon enters homes through openings that are in direct contact with the ground, such as cracks in the foundation. High levels of radon gas can lead to lung cancer and even death. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer right behind cigarette smoking. 

We cannot tell you whether or not to buy the house we inspect. However, we are confident that the home inspection report will give you a better understanding of whether or not the house is right for you.
