We will inspect the air flow and venting of the attic, as well as the insulation type and amount.
The purpose of the heating/cooling system should be obvious. These systems have a life span of between 15-20 years. Its important to service the appliances annually as well as replace or service the air filters and humidifiers associated with these appliances
The electrical system is very important from the safety and convenience point of view. We make you aware of the type of wiring you may have. It could be copper, aluminum, knob & tube or a combination. We also make you aware of the amperage rating of the house. All of these aspects of the elecrical system help to make the house comfortable to live in.
The plumbing system provides 2 services to the house. 1. supply lines, giving you drinking water, water for washing, cooking & cleaning. 2. waste water is then drained to the sewers under the road or to a septic system. its important to know the types of supply lines to & throughout the house. most of the pipes are hidden within the walls but from what we can see we can determine that there are not any leaks or problem areas.
The interior of the house can tell us a lot about a house. Typical flaws such as nail pops, ceiling cracking, floor squeaks will be found in every house. Bigger concerns can show themselves within the interior as well, water staining, major structural movement can cause doors and windows to rub or not even function properly.
The structure includes the foundation & footings, floors, walls & roof. Some of these components are visible during the inspection, some are not. The structure of the house should stand still over its life. We look for evidence that this is true, as well as give you an idea of what to expect in the future.
