INSPECTIONS

Why hire an inspector?

Avoid expensive surprises: A professional home inspector can identify potential problems and defects in a property that may not be immediately apparent to an untrained eye. This can include issues such as water damage, faulty wiring, plumbing problems, structural issues, and more. By identifying these issues early, you can avoid costly surprises down the road.
Negotiate a better deal: If the home inspector finds issues with the property, you may be able to negotiate a better price with the seller. You can use the inspection report as leverage to negotiate repairs or a lower purchase price.
Protect your investment: A home is likely one of the biggest investments you will ever make, and it's important to protect that investment. A home inspector can help you identify potential problems and take steps to mitigate any risks.
Peace of mind: A professional home inspection can give you peace of mind that you are making a sound investment. Knowing that your new home is free of major defects can help you feel confident in your decision to purchase.

What does a home inspector look for?

Structural issues: A home inspector checks the foundation, roof, walls, and other structural elements of the property for signs of damage, settling, or other issues.
Electrical systems: A home inspector checks the electrical panel, wiring, outlets, and switches to ensure they are in good condition and meet safety standards.
Plumbing systems: A home inspector checks the pipes, fixtures, and water heater to ensure they are functioning properly and there are no leaks or other issues.
HVAC systems: A home inspector checks the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to ensure they are functioning properly and are in good condition.
Exterior elements: A home inspector checks the exterior of the property, including the roof, siding, windows, and doors, for signs of damage or wear.
Interior elements: A home inspector checks the interior of the property, including walls, ceilings, floors, and doors, for signs of damage or wear.
Appliances: A home inspector checks any appliances included in the sale of the property, such as a stove or dishwasher, to ensure they are functioning properly.
Safety features: A home inspector checks for the presence and proper functioning of safety features such as smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and fire extinguishers.

Overall, a home inspector checks for any potential safety hazards, defects, or maintenance issues that could impact the value or safety of the property. The inspection report can be used to negotiate repairs or a lower purchase price with the seller, and can help the buyer make an informed decision about the property.
