What is a home inspection?
As a licensed home inspector, trained and certified by the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI), I adhere to their comprehensive residential standards of practice. This means that I will inspect all of the following, when accessible:
- Roofs, vents, flashing and trim
- Eaves, soffit and facia
- Gutters and downspouts
- Roof penetrations
- Decks, stoops, porches, rails and walkways
- Grading and drainage
- Foundations, basements and crawl spaces
- Heating systems and cooling systems
- Water shut off valves
- Water heating systems
- Plumbing fixtures and faucets
- Drainage and sump pumps (with accessible float)
- Electrical service lines and meter boxes
- Main disconnect and servage amperage
- Electrical panels, breakers and fuses
- Grounding and bonding
- GFCI's and AFCI's
- Fireplaces, damper doors and hearth
- Insulation and ventilation
- Garage doors, safety sensors and openers
- And much more!
