Services

If you need a professional inspection for a residential property up for sale or one that you or your clients are thinking about purchasing, you've come to the right place!

We perform comprehensive inspections involving a property's major visible, structural and mechanical systems for real estate owners and prospective buyers. The items examined in a typical inspection include the plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning systems, foundation, roof, exterior and interior structures and surfaces, and built-in appliances. The visual inspection culminates in a set of comprehensive, computer generated reports describing the condition of the items and systems inspected.

Pre-Purchase Inspections

The acquisition of a property can be stressful, sometimes involving considerable uncertainty and often with time constraints on the decision making process. A condition survey of the property removes a number of the unknowns and greatly increases the chances of a successful purchase. It makes good sense to know what you are buying, before you sign on the dotted line.

In a pre-purchase situation, our strategy is to quickly provide you with a description of the existing building condition. The building and its systems are not redesigned; instead the focus is on the performance of the building. Where appropriate, we estimate life expectancies and provide repair and/or replacement cost figures in a broad ball park sense.

Sewer Lateral Inspections

Internal CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) video camera inspection is a traditional method used to determine the exact nature of defects in sewer laterals. A video inspection can determine the exact problem area and save you money on repairs. The sewer lateral inspection includes the following.
• Structural condition
• Location of structural defects
• Locate obstructions and sources of infiltration
• Type and Size of pipe material

The below is some problems that may exist in a sewer lateral

Pre-Listing Inspections

A Naked Eye Pre-Listing Inspection is a property inspection that is performed before a house goes on the market. The benefits of this inspection help create a powerful marketing tool that can be used during the process of selling real estate.

Benefits of a Pre-Listing Inspection:

• A home or commercial building may sell faster!
• The real estate may sell for more money!
• Buyers will remain interested, because they will be aware of potential problem areas beforehand.
• No more endless re-negotiations based on an inspector's findings.
• You are able to resolve any differences before the property goes on the market.
• All homes and buildings have room for improvement. Disclosing the condition of the property allows you to reflect the condition in the listing price, rather than having to negotiate again later when the issues are discovered.
• No more excuses! A property inspection is worth the time and expense!

Warranty Inspection

Many area builders offer a one year warranty and allow homeowners to prepare a "punch-list" for repairs needed at the twelfth month of occupancy. New homeowners have called upon us to perform a complete inspection of all components of the home to ensure that any existing or future potential concerns are addressed.

4 Point Insurance Inspection
*4-Point inspections are not a complete home inspection. Ages and types of major components and systems are checked for upgrades and serviceability only. This type of inspection is usually performed to help provide information for insurance companies providing property insurance.

What are the Insurance Companies looking for?

While we cannot speak for the individual insurance companies, it appears they want to know if the major systems of the house have been updated and what the reasonable life expectancy will be. It is recommended that the buyer contact their insurance company for more information.

A 4 point insurance inspection consists of the following:
· Roof Inspection
· Electrical Inspection
· HVAC (Heat, Ventilation & A/C)
· Plumbing
