Inspectors conduct a comprehensive review of the foundation, walls, ceilings, and floors to confirm their structural integrity and absence of hazards. Early detection of potential problems can avert expensive repairs in the future.

Roof and Attic Inspection

The roof protects your home from the elements. Inspectors evaluate shingles, flashing, and gutters. An attic assessment involves checking insulation and ventilation, which are vital for energy efficiency and regulating indoor climate.

Electrical System Check

Safety is paramount. Wiring, outlets, switches, and circuit breakers are evaluated.

The goal is to identify fire hazards or malfunctioning components.

Plumbing Assessment

Inspecting faucets, pipes, and drainage systems is crucial. It helps in detecting leaks, corrosion, or faulty installations, thus preventing water damage.
