What Do Home Inspectors Look At?
A to Z is a licensed, insured, and highly trained inspector committed to providing an accurate assessment of a property's condition. We follow a detailed checklist based on standards from the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI), including:
Foundation
The foundation must be structurally sound and free of damage for a home to be safe. Cracks, water intrusion, or other issues could make a property unsafe and must be addressed before selling.
Roof
As a home's first line of defense against the elements, the roof’s condition can reveal a lot about how well the home has been maintained. A damaged roof could indicate other hidden problems throughout the property.
HVAC System
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems are crucial for comfort and safety. Our inspectors ensure the HVAC system is properly maintained, functioning efficiently, and delivering clean, safe air.
Plumbing
A properly functioning plumbing system is essential for sanitation and health. We inspect for clogs, leaks, and system failures that could pose immediate or long-term hazards.
Electrical Systems
Outdated or faulty wiring can be a major fire hazard. We carefully inspect electrical panels, outlets, and system wiring to identify safety concerns that must be addressed.
Landscaping
Overgrown trees, invasive roots, and improper grading can pose serious risks to your property. We evaluate landscaping elements like vegetation placement, slope, and drainage flow to identify concerns that may lead to foundation damage, pest intrusion, or water pooling.
Attic/Insulation
Proper insulation is key for energy efficiency and protection. We check the attic to ensure insulation is installed correctly, in good condition, and free of damage.
Walls and Ceilings
Walls and ceilings may look fine on the surface but could conceal mold, rot, pests, or other serious issues. Our inspectors are trained to spot signs of hidden concerns.
Floors
Floors endure a lot of wear and tear. We examine them closely for structural issues, uneven settling, water damage, and other problems that may indicate broader issues with the home.
Windows
Checking the condition of your windows is essential for maintaining energy efficiency and preventing drafts that can drive up heating and cooling costs. Regular window inspections also help identify structural issues that could lead to water damage or compromised security.
Doors
Exterior doors must seal tightly to keep out weather and pests and provide security. We inspect all doors for proper sealing, sturdy frames, and functional locks.
Exterior
Cracked siding, deteriorating trim, and damaged walkways can compromise your home’s structure and safety. Our exterior inspection covers siding, fascia, gutters, driveways, and walkways to pinpoint areas needing repair or maintenance before they lead to bigger issues.
