Our visual inspection includes:
all the structural components, including foundations, walls, and roofs
major architectural features such as windows, doors, and decks
checking operation of the major systems such as the HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems
inspecting attics and crawl spaces, as far as accessible
We also check
exterior wall coverings
roof and ground-level drainage
ventilation systems
plumbing fixtures
built-in appliances
We discuss with you any irregularities, such as
safety hazards that require immediate attention
serious flaws
minor problems
We also
make suggestions for maintenance
discuss possible upgrades
