A building inspection is performed after you have an accepted, signed contract to purchase your new home. The inspection period is usually

10 days, unless otherwise noted in the contract. As soon as you have the accepted contract you will need to contact us, to perform your home inspeciton. Our inspections are performed using the American Society of Home Inspectors Standards of Practice. ASHI Inspectors are held to the highest technical standards, adherence to a strict code of ethics and the very best in customer service and education. ASHI is a professional organization of home inspectors.

​

Home inspections performed using this Standard are intended to provide the client with information about the condition of the inspected systems and components at the time of the home inspection. During inspection we will inspect readily accessible, visually observable, installed 

systems and components of your home and provide you, (the client) with

a written report and photo images. The report will state those systems and components inspected that, in the professional judgement of the inspector, are not functioning properly, significantly deficient, unsafe, or are near the end of their service lives and reccomend to correct, or monitor for future correction the deficiencies reported and report any items that may need further evaluation while adhering to the ASHI® Code of Ethics for the Home Inspection Profession.

​

We will inspect components and elements of the structure, including the foundation and framing, exterior wall coverings, exterior doors, decks, porches, balconies, walkways, patios and driveways, roofing, chimney, skylights, flashing and other associated elements affecting the exterior of your home. In addition, we will inspect the components and elements of the interior of your home such as; walls, ceilings, floors, operation of controls of installed kitchen appliances, plumbing fixtures, sump pumps, sewage drain pipes, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, energy sources, location of water main and fuel shut-off valves, electrical service and fixtures, a representative number of windows and doors, insulation and ventilation of attics and unfinished areas and check for the presence of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.

​

PLEASE NOTE: While inspectors may check the electrical, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and plumbing fixtures of the home, this inspection only applies to open areas and not to any wiring, pipes or ventilation, hidden within a wall. The Inspector may reccomend you get professional advice on some issues and repairs from a licensed electrician, plumber or HVAC professional that specializes in their particular field.
