What Our Home Inspection Includes
No matter the area we’re looking at, annual home inspections by our professionals are visual, unbiased reports about the systems, components, and structures that make a home.
Our qualified specialists possess extensive experience, so they can spot problems and recommend cost-effective tailored solutions, even though waterproofing and drainage failures aren’t always easy to spot.
Interior Inspection
We start the process of waterproofing and drainage inspections by carefully detecting the red flags. Some visible signs include excess humidity, water in the crawl space, buckling or cracked walls, moisture around windows or doors, peeling, blistering, or bubbling paint, mildew and mold spores, rotting wood, and staining on walls.
We utilize state-of-the-art equipment to detect what may be hidden behind the walls. We use infrared inspection, radon inspection, air quality testing, mold inspection, and other techniques to help you find all the answers.
Exterior Inspection
Our professional home inspection services also include experts carefully examining your home’s exterior, giving extra focus on weakness points. Mortar joints and voids in bricks and blocks could be a telltale sign allowing water to enter the crevices of your walls.
Sloped grading of the property around the foundation and window wells in the basement can lead the moisture to seep through the walls and deteriorate the structure. Our home inspection report will include the condition of the space where the foundation meets the brick. If the seal has deteriorated, water could easily leak into the basement and cause some serious damage.
