How I Inspect

The roof is one of the most costly and important structures. I will examine the roof, its structure, shingles/tiles, flashing, gutters, downspouts and more.

This includes the exterior walkways and doors, siding, eaves and soffits, fascia, paint, and other such elements of the home’s exterior.

I will test and examine the HVAC systems including ducts, filters, furnaces and air conditioning units.

I will check all plumbing fixtures for proper function, including tubs, sinks, hoses, showers, water shut-off valves, and irrigation systems, if applicable, and look for leaks and other such flaws.

I will check both interior and exterior electrical systems including service drops, service masts, grounding, outlets, meters, circuit breakers, and other such systems.

I will test and examine all major appliances like water heaters,  dishwashers, built-in appliances and more.

I will check doors and windows for proper sealing and drafts, signs of water damage, and more. I will also check the condition of all interior spaces.

I will examine the foundation, crawlspaces and basements to look for signs of things like past water damage, foundation cracking or shifting, and other such potentially expensive issues.

I will examine the attic to ensure it is ventilated, check for moisture, assess the level of insulation, and more.
