We generate our inspection reports using HomeGauge Software. Within no more than 24 hours after your inspection has been completed, you will receive an email with a link to your report. In it, you will find all of the detailed information about the property along with photos and videos of the home’s components and any issues we found during the walk-through. We are always available by phone, so feel free to call us anytime after receiving your report with further questions.

Do I need additional inspections?

Yes, you will need additional inspections.

1. We recommend contacting The Roof Doctors for a FREE roof inspection on most homes.

2. We recommend a Pest Inspection on all homes.

Also called a termite inspection, this visual inspection is conducted by a state-licensed professional hired to look for signs of infestation or damage to a structure by wood-destroying pests. Pest inspectors look for: • Wood-destroying pests, such as termites, carpenter ants, rot fungus and wood-infesting beetles. • Evidence of pest activity, such as damaged wood, dead insects and termite tubes. • Conducive conditions for pests, such as standing water, earth-to-wood contact and plumbing leaks The inspector will visually inspect accessible areas inside a home (including crawlspaces) and the exterior of the property. In areas where drywood termites are prevalent and in houses where there are no subfloor crawlspaces, the attic is also inspected. The average termite inspection takes about an hour. Findings are recorded on a pest control inspection report.

3. We recommend a sewer line inspection on all homes. Contact Affordable Trenchless.

Even on newer homes there may be damage from trees. Older homes may need the entire sewer line replaced. Affordable Trenchless is a small family owned business and is well known for excellent customer service.

4. We recommend a level 2 chimney inspection on most homes. Contact Mikes Mobile Screen and Chimney

A Level 2 chimney inspection is recommended when you have had any changes done to your system. If you have changed fuel type, or had the chimney relined, if you have replaced your furnace or appliance -especially if the rating or efficiency differs from what was there prior. If you recently bought the home and are not familiar with the system performance, plan to do modifications to your chimney, stove or heating system or have had a chimney fire recently a Level 2 chimney inspection is in order.

5. Pool and pool safety. It is better to have a pool professional independtly inspect all pool systems.

6. If you have a ZINSCO panel it is best to replace the panel as it is a known safety hazard and many insurance companies will not insure a house with this type of panel. If you need to do maintenance on a ZINSCO panel due to financial reasons before you upgrade to a new panel contact BROCK ELECTRIC at 916-289-0541.
