FAQs

What does a building inspection include?

A building inspection should cover a review of the structural components of a property and should review:

  • The foundation system
  • The roofing system
  • The central heating system
  • The central cooling system
  • The electrical system
  • The plumbing system
  • The siding
  • The walls, ceilings, and floors
  • The built-in kitchen appliances

Why should I consider getting a home inspection before I sell my property?

It can sometimes be helpful to proactively inspect your property. This “Sellers Inspection” eliminates surprises, identifies potential problems, helps you know what you need to do to prepare your home for sale, and is a great marketing tool for agents. You can promote in your listing that a home inspection report is available for review!

How do I know if my home inspector is qualified?

Credentials and quality in the home inspection industry vary dramatically from company to company. There is no licensing for home inspectors in most states including California. There is also no particular background which provides the knowledge necessary to evaluate the many varied conditions that may be encountered in a home.

Choose an inspector who has earned credentials for competence and professionalism and ensure the inspector you select offers post-inspection advice, if needed.

What is a Warranty Inspection?

Often when you purchase a home it will come with a one-year warranty to cover any needed repairs or defects. Prior to your warranty’s expiration, you should have a warranty inspection. A warranty inspection will review the areas covered by the warranty and determine if there are any needed repairs needed prior to the end of the warranty period.

Why should I get a Maintenance Inspection?

A maintenance inspection on your home or commercial building can help you by identifying small problems before they become big issues. Home and commercial buildings require regular maintenance to keep systems and components operating properly. Minor issues can quickly turn into costly repairs, but a maintenance inspection can prevent this from happening.
