Here are just a few of the items included with the inspection. Remember, when you walk through the inspection you will be surprised at how much information you will obtain. We think of the inspection as a learning experience for you to help maintain your investment.



We stress the fact that water is your home's enemy. Some people think that grading of landscape is only for looks. Actually, some decorative grading is actually damaging your home. We will suggest ways to keep water away from your home and out of your basement. Sometimes it's as simple as adding extensions to your gutters.



Whether the exterior is wood, vinyl, aluminum, or masonry there can be areas of concern. Some can cause major damage or even structural damage.


Most decks are built by homeowners. Usually when a homeowner completes major work to a house. It should be treated as suspect, meaning: the cost of upkeep is usually more then a work completed by professionals.


We will show areas of concern, such as cracks raised sections, tree root problems, and trip hazards.


We will show you what to look for such as cracks, spalling, and water penetration.


We check each and every window for cracked glass, condensation, and window operation. We give you tips on window up keep to keep water damage away.


Again, water is your homes enemy. Your roof can leak for long periods of time without you ever knowing. Learn the do's & don'ts.


An attic tells a lot about your home. It can show leaks, sheathing problems, ventilation problems, insulation problems, structural issues, or even mold & mildew issues.


Do you think ceramic tile grout protects the supporting wall from penetration? No, grout alone doesn't mean its water tight.


Do you really care if the pressure pipes are galvanized, copper, or plastic, or what the drain pipes are? Well you should. We will explain the good and the bad for your situation.


Some feel this is one of the most important issues. Even if you know nothing about heating and cooling, you will understand the Do's and Don'ts.


Most older homes have upgraded electrical. Unfortunately most is done without proper permits which could lead to code violations.


We test appliances, check cabinets, counters, sinks, vents, & lighting.
