Specializing in Inspection of Older Homes

An inspection usually takes from 2 - 3 hrs. The home purchaser should be present to learn as much as possible about their home. Our report is detailed and cannot be completed at inspection time. The report includes all concerns or deficiencies found. We include photos of problem areas to allow discussion after the inspection. The entire report is e-mailed when complete. A hard copy is mailed. We are available for follow-up consultations or re-inspection if necessary.

Our Pledge to Our Customers

Our inspections are thorough. Our income is not based on previous or future referrals from individuals involved in the sale of this or other properties in the past or the future. Our goal is to inform you of the condition of the building at the lowest possible cost. Our customer is the person ordering the inspection. We do not make building repairs or provide pest control or mold/lead/asbestos abatement services.

Home Inspection Process

Property is inspected for proper grading and drainage, especially in areas where there are possible water problems in the basement. We look for septic problems, buried pipes and tanks and possible surface water sources. Condition of patios, decks, trees, shrubbery, driveways, sidewalks, retaining walls and stonework are reported. We look for indications of past property use and possible pollution.

All areas of the home are inspected. We look in hard-to-reach areas such as crawlspaces, attics and kneewalls. If possible, we climb on the roof to inspect gutters, flashing & chimneys & flues. Indications of leakage and water damage, delayed maintenance, wood decay and excessive settling are reported. Correct and safe installations & adequate original design and construction are determined. We look for the presence of wood destroying insects, other insects and rodents as well as mold, asbestos and lead.
