Buying a home? The process can be stressful. A home inspection is supposed to give you peace of mind, but can have the opposite effect, especially with an older home. You need to absorb a lot of information in a short time, including multiple inspection reports, the seller's disclosure, the agents observations and what you notice yourself makes the experience even more overwhelming.
Most of your home inspection report will be information, typical maintenance recommendations and minor issues. A summary is provided to help point out the more important issues. Our inspection reports also include customized preventative, performance and energy tips to help you get the most out of your new home.
The main issues of concern, if any, will fall into one of these categories:
- Major defects such as a worn roof or a foundation problem.
- Issues that could lead to damage if not addressed such as a plumbing leak.
- Safety hazards, such as exposed wiring or unsafe steps or windows.
Anything in these categories should be addressed right away. Often a serious problem can be corrected inexpensively to protect both life and property.
