While it’s not required, attending the inspection is highly recommended. It allows you to see issues firsthand, ask questions, and better understand the condition of the property.
Most inspections take between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the home. Larger or older homes may take slightly longer to inspect thoroughly.
Ensure utilities (gas, water, electricity) are active and all areas—like the attic, crawlspaces, and electrical panels—are accessible. Locked rooms or blocked areas may be excluded from the inspection.
Yes, new homes can have structural issues, incomplete work, or code violations. A third-party new construction inspection helps catch problems before your final walkthrough or closing.
Radon testing should be done before finalizing a home purchase, ideally during the home inspection window. The home should be closed up 12 hours prior to testing for accurate results.
We place a continuous radon monitor in the lowest livable area of the home for 48 hours. The device measures radon levels hourly to provide an accurate average reading.
Yes, inspectors test major built-in appliances, heating, and cooling systems for basic function. However, they don’t perform in-depth diagnostics or disassemble units.
Detached structures can be inspected, but they are typically not included in standard home inspections unless requested. Be sure to mention them in advance for full coverage.
