Frequently asked questions.
Why do I need a home inspection?
To get a better understanding of the current condition of the home and its systems. This could save you thousands of dollars by helping negotiate the price of the home and budget for future repairs. Making the right choice for your future is important to us. We highly recommend a home inspection when purchasing a home.
How much time does an inspection take??
The average full home inspection takes 3 hours. More time is needed for larger homes or homes with multiple attics/crawl space areas. Every home is unique and holds its own set of issues depending on the year it was built and the systems present. We are currently scheduling one inspection per day to ensure each customer and their home receives the attention they deserve.
The scheduling tool will guide you through the process for setting up the inspection. You will receive an email for payment information and the required inspection agreement. Availability varies. Please contact us if you have questions.
Should I buy this house??
That is entirely up to you, and not the inspectors place to say. The inspector is there to report on systems defects, and not to tell you if you should purchase the home. Every home is different and faces its own challenges and maintenance needs, even new homes have problems.
What is a mold inspection?
A mold inspection is to help identify mold spore counts and active moisture intrusion concerns. Mold can be dangerous to the health of people and pets, as well as destroy materials inside the structure. Complete Mold Inspections take about 2 hours to complete on site. Limited Mold Inspections take about 1 hour. Both types of mold inspections require 3 - 7 business days for shipping of samples and laboratory processing. Mold reports are completed and sent to customers the same day lab results are received by the inspector.
The majority of mold issues are from moisture intrusion and a lack of air flow. We identify the problem, the labs accurately identify spore counts from samples, and we help our customers form the best plan to resolve the issue by recommending the correct type of contractors.
