Areas Inspected

Structural: Many home inspection organizations have set standards on target areas of the home. Inspectors use these standards to determine the integrity of the essential internal and external components. Although home inspectors are not structural engineers, they can identify visual defects that require immediate repair.

Electrical: Do all of the outlets work? Does the house use fuses or is there a breaker box? Are there visible signs of fraying on the wiring? Is there extra circuitry that will allow for more electrical services?

Plumbing: Are there any leaks or annoying drips? Are all of the mechanical systems and fixtures working properly?

Built-in Appliances: Large kitchen appliances, water heaters, heating and air-conditioning systems, ECT. Are costly to replace or repair. Are they functioning properly?  How long will they last? 

Safety Hazards: Home inspectors are not specialist, but we can identify many existing and potential safety hazards and dangerous conditions.

Miscellaneous: Other items that may be included in your home inspection are drainage problems, wood decks, fences, patios, and other exterior structures.

Normally NOT included: Termite, geological or land subsidence surveys and environmental or pollution inspections. These should be completed separately for your own protection.
