A full report generally consists 50-90 pages will be provided and be fully annotated with many photos and recommendations. Inspection items to include:
A pre-listing inspection is typically purchased by a homeowner who is considering selling their home, and the inspection is performed prior to listing their home for sale. Knowing the condition of the home and its systems before listing can give the seller valuable insight into what needs to be repaired or replaced and what issues may arise during negotiations regarding the home and the property.
A buyer's inspection: When a potential home buyer has a made an offer on a home and it has been accepted, the prospective buyer coordinates with the real estate agent and seller to arrange an inspection of the home and property. A Home Inspection is scheduled and performed. During the inspection, the inspector will walk the property with the client (buyer) and review the condition of the home as well as recommendations for repairs and maintenance. The Inspector will then provide a narrative report with many photos which helps the buyer to make an informed decision about the home.
Radon is an odorless, radioactive gas that rises naturally from the earth. It enters the home easily through open crawlspaces, small cracks and openings in the home's foundation, or pathways provided by the installation of utilities. Over time, elevated radon levels can have serious health consequences for those living in the home. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, causing 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year. Measurement of radon levels can provide peace of mind, or verify that radon mitigation is needed. Radon testing is an additional service provided, the cost for a radon air test is $85 when scheduled with a home inspection. Stand alone Radon tests $125
In order to ensure accurate results, it is extremely important that closed-house conditions are maintained for 12 hours before the measurement begins, as well as during the test.
