Here’s Reasons to Choose Us

The term “home inspection” covers a wide range of different tests that are all performed during the course of the overall inspection. It is necessary that each of these components be done properly and completely because that is the only way that one can be reasonably assured that their property is safe. Among the components of a home inspection include the following:

Examining the Structural Integrity

Reviewing the structural integrity of a home is a must when performing a home inspection because this is a foundational element of a safe home. The inspector will check things such as the levelness of the floors, the condition of the ceilings, and any cracks, sagging, or water damage in the home. These are all signs that there could be structural integrity issues that must be addressed immediately.

Roofing Concerns

Taking a look at the roof to inspect for signs of a leak or other issues is yet another thing that you is included as part of the home inspection process. The inspector will examine the entire roof including the drains and shingles to note any particular damage to those areas as well.

Plumbing

There are several parts of a home’s plumbing that must be carefully examined to determine if there are potential issues that could lead to problems in the future. A few of the plumbing activities that a home inspector will perform include:  

  • Checking for leaking pipes
  • Checking for the proper functioning of the toilets and sinks
  • Checking the water pressure throughout the property
  • Exploring the drainage capabilities of the property

Each of these elements plays into the overall plumbing health of a given property. Knowing if the plumbing is holding up or not is essential to living in a space that is comfortable to live in.

HVAC Systems

The heating and air conditioning system of a property is another component that needs to function properly. Everyone wants to be able to set the temperature in their living space and remain comfortable. This is only possible if the HVAC system is functioning properly, and that means speaking with a home inspector about getting this checked out to verify that the system will be fully operational.  

The inspector will check the functionality of the HVAC system as well as the ducts to look for any particular obstructions or other issues. On top of that, the inspector will verify the level of airflow and the full range of ability to change the temperature within the home.

Attic and Crawl Spaces

There are many homes that include an attic, a crawl space, or both. These are frequently overlooked rooms in the home because most people don’t spend a significant amount of time in either of these rooms. That being said, these rooms must also be examined by a home inspector to ensure the safety of the home overall.  

It is essential to look for proper ventilation throughout the attic and crawl space as well as looking for any possible water damage in these areas. In some cases, an HVAC unit may be located in or near a crawl space, and it is possible that water could leak from that HVAC unit into the crawl space. Home inspectors know to be on the lookout for this kind of issue and address it right away.

Appliance Testing

The basic appliances in the home should work like a charm from the moment a new tenant moves in. The home inspector will verify that this is the case by reviewing each appliance to ensure that it works as designed. Everything from the refrigerator and stove to the dishwasher will be inspected.  

These are some of the critical components of every home inspection that we perform at HomeCare IFA. We will gladly assist you with each step in the process. On top of that, we will keep you informed about anything suspect that we find along the way.

Each Element is Inspected Individually

People often use generalized terms such as that a home “failed it’s inspection”. However, that is not something that happens. The inspection is not graded on a pass/fail system. Instead, each element that is inspected is given feedback by the inspector to make it easier for both the buyer and the seller to make a judgement call about what their next steps will be.

Buyers are Welcomed to Accompany the Inspector

It is ideal for the buyer to accompany the inspector while they do their work. This is the optimal situation because it will help to put the buyer’s mind at ease and guarantee that the inspection is done properly. Besides that, another set of eyes on the property is never a bad thing. Always ask to accompany the inspector if you are a prospective buyer.

Always Select a Professional Inspector

The value that one gains from using the services of a professional inspector far outweighs any cost savings that they might have enjoyed by going with someone cheaper. This is an extremely serious business, and anything that is missed during the inspection can be extremely costly at the end of the day. It is best to lean in on the reliability of an expert rather than take chances with someone who might not know what they are talking about.
