What I Inspect

I will conduct a thorough, professional inspection of your home, inside and out

As a NACHI-certified professional home inspector, I have the knowledge and expertise to provide you with a thorough and professional, non-intrusive, visual inspection of your home, from roof to foundation.  I work by the NACHI Standards of Pratice for every inspection.

Outside the home, I will check the exterior walls, roof, driveway, deck, etc., then I will move inside to examine the walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows. The heating, air-conditioning,plumbing, and electrical systems will all be examined to ensure that they function as intended. Bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms receive a thorough check, along with the attic and basement or crawl space.

Here are some of the many items I'll be looking at during your home inspection:

• Foundation and support structure
• Roof systems
• Water heater
• Ventilation
• Electrical capacity & components
• Structural integrity
• Steps and stairs
• Heating system
• Central Air Conditioning system
• Walks and driveways
• Built-in appliances
• Plumbing system & fixtures
• Garages and Carports
• Surface drainage
• Windows & doors
• Insulation
• Gutters & downspouts
• Decks

What I Can't Inspect

I do not have the ability to see through walls, look into the soil, see under secured insulation, explore under the slabs, or comment about items that are not visible by you and me. I have not been trained to predict the future life of ANYTHING that is contained in the inspected property. Mechanical fixtures or items can fail at anytime no matter the age or use. I will not be responsible for conditions after the inspection is completed. The home inspection is a "snapshot" in time...no more. My inspection protocol is the same to insure that I don't miss anything visible during the inspection.

I encourage you to be there and watch as I inspect your home, you are free to ask questions during your home inspection.
