Additional Inspection Services
Pre-Listing Inspection
A pre-listing inspection offers significant value by identifying any existing issues with a property before it goes on the market, allowing sellers to address problems upfront. This proactive approach not only helps in setting a realistic price but also enhances the property’s appeal to potential buyers, potentially speeding up the sale process.
New Construction Inspection
New construction inspections are essential to ensure that even brand-new properties meet all building standards and specifications before the final handover. This type of inspection can uncover construction oversights and installation issues, providing an opportunity for corrections and ensuring that the new homeowners move into a safe and well-constructed home.
New Construction Phase Inspections
New construction phase inspections are critical checkpoints during various stages of a building’s construction, ensuring that each phase meets specific quality standards before proceeding to the next. These inspections help identify any potential issues early in the construction process, avoiding costly corrections after the project is completed.
11th Month Warranty Inspection
An 11-month warranty inspection is conducted near the end of a new home’s one-year warranty period to identify any defects or issues that need to be addressed while the warranty is still in effect. This proactive inspection allows homeowners to make claims for necessary repairs or adjustments, ensuring that builders uphold their commitments to quality and safety before the warranty expires.
4 Point Inspection
A 4-Point inspection is a specialized assessment focusing on the four main systems of a home: the roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Typically required for insurance purposes, this inspection provides insurers with an overview of the home’s condition and helps homeowners secure appropriate coverage based on the condition of these critical systems.
Loan Draw Inspection
A loan draw inspection is conducted during the construction process to verify the progress of a project and release funds from the lender to the builder. These inspections ensure that the work completed aligns with the agreed-upon schedule and quality standards, providing assurance to both the lender and the borrower throughout the construction phase.
Wind Mitigation
Wind mitigation inspections assess a home’s resilience to wind damage, focusing on features that can reduce potential losses during severe weather events. By identifying these features, such as reinforced roof structures or impact-resistant windows, homeowners can often qualify for insurance discounts, making their properties more cost-effective to insure against wind-related risks.
Water Testing
Water testing is crucial for homeowners to ensure the safety and quality of their drinking water, as it can detect harmful contaminants that may be present. By regularly testing their water, homeowners can safeguard their health and make informed decisions about any necessary water treatment or filtration systems.
Mold Testing
Mold testing is essential for homeowners to identify and address potential health hazards and structural issues caused by mold growth in their properties. By conducting mold testing, homeowners can proactively mitigate risks, ensuring a safe and healthy living environment for themselves and their families.
Pool & Spa Inspection
Pool and spa inspections are vital for ensuring the safety and functionality of these recreational amenities in residential properties. By assessing the condition of equipment, structures, and safety features, such inspections help homeowners maintain a safe and enjoyable aquatic environment for their families and guests.
Condo Inspections
Condo inspections are crucial for prospective buyers to evaluate the condition of the unit and common areas, ensuring they are making an informed investment. These inspections assess the structural integrity, mechanical systems, and potential maintenance issues, providing buyers with confidence in their purchase decision and helping them negotiate any necessary repairs or adjustments with the seller.
