Before You Move Forward,
Know What You’re Getting Into
A home can look great on the surface and still come with problems that are easy to miss during a showing.
Moisture problems, roof wear, plumbing leaks, electrical issues, poor ventilation, and signs that the home has not been properly maintained.
When you are under pressure to make a decision, it helps to have a professional take a closer look.
A pre-purchase home inspection gives you a clearer picture of the property’s condition before subjects are removed or the purchase moves ahead. The goal is not to alarm you. It is to help you move forward with better information and fewer surprises.
What’s Included in the Inspection
We inspect the home’s visible and accessible components so you can better understand its overall condition before you buy.
Roof
We look for visible wear, aging, or damage that could lead to repairs sooner than expected.
Exterior
We check the outside of the home for signs of damage, wear, and areas where water may not be draining properly.
Structure & Foundation
We look for visible cracking, movement, or settlement that may need closer attention.
Plumbing
We inspect visible plumbing components for leaks, past water issues, and signs of aging or poor repairs.
Electrical
We review key accessible electrical components for common deficiencies and possible safety concerns.
Heating & cooling
We check the system’s visible condition and basic operation at the time of the inspection.
Insulation & ventilation
We look for visible gaps, poor airflow, or other issues that can affect comfort and moisture control.
Interior
We inspect walls, ceilings, floors, stairs, and other interior areas for visible damage or wear.
Windows & doors
We check how they operate and look for visible sealing issues, wear, or damage
Attic & crawlspace
Where accessible, we look for signs of moisture, ventilation problems, insulation concerns, and structural red flags.
Built-in appliances
We test built-in appliances in a limited capacity to check for basic operation.
Moisture & water intrusion
Throughout the inspection, we watch for signs of leaks, staining, or moisture damage that may point to bigger issues.
Pre-Purchase Inspections for Every Type of Home
Not every property comes with the same risks.
A detached house, townhouse, and condo all need a slightly different lens.
Single-Family Home Inspections
Single-family home inspections usually cover the widest range of visible areas, from the roof and exterior to the home’s major systems and structure.
Townhouse Inspections
Townhouse inspections focus on the visible parts of the unit, both inside and out where accessible.
Condo Inspections
Condo inspections are usually centered on the interior of the unit, including fixtures, appliances, and visible signs of wear or moisture.
