Home inspection services
The American Society of Home inspectors (ASHI) was formed. In cooperation with CREIA the first Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice for Home Inspectors was developed.
Whether you are buying or selling a house, condo or acreage, I am here to help you identify any potential problems with the property.
My inspections are performed to meet or exceed the InterNACHI standards and code of ethics.
The typical inspection takes 2-3 hours. Using a wide range of investigative tools I will inspect your home from top to bottom, including:
- General safety and security
- All rooms in the interior living space
- Building design, framing and structure
- Foundations, basements and crawl spaces
- Attics, garages, stairs, steps
- Exterior walls, siding, trim, windows, doors
- Roof coverings, drainage systems, skylights, vents and ventilation
- Chimneys, fireplaces
- Walkways, patios, decks and driveways
- Perimeter drainage
- Electrical service
- Water and gas piping & valves
- Hot water supply
- Sinks, toilets, tubs, showers
- Heating and cooling systems
- Electrical panels, wiring, outlets, switches, lighting fixtures, and ceiling fans
I also use a FLIR infrared inspection camera to detect leaks and insulation problems you can’t see with the naked eye, and include photos of any observed deficiencies in my report.
