What Does the Home Inspection Process Look Like?
Our seasoned and skilled inspector dedicates 2.5 to 3 hours to conduct a comprehensive assessment of your home and its surroundings. Throughout this period, we meticulously examine the major components of your property, including the foundation, accessible roofs, appliances, and electrical panels, providing a detailed visual inspection.
Upon completion, our inspector guides you through the entire property, highlighting any deficiencies observed during the inspection process, ensuring you gain insight into the condition of your home from our perspective.
To ensure top-notch service for our clients, we utilize thermal imaging cameras and moisture detectors to inspect certain components and areas. This technology allows us to identify moisture intrusion problems, detect overheating electrical systems, locate missing insulation, and uncover other issues that may not be visible to the naked eye.
All of this will be detailed in our easy-to-read Spectora Report, which will be delivered in a Web-Based format. From that report, you will be able to see the items we discussed, with images and HD Videos for reference.
