Professional Home Inspection Services

When buying a home, we offer you greater peace of mind and clarity on your purchase with a pre-purchase home inspection. For sellers, we help to ensure a smooth transaction with maximum return with a pre-listing home inspection. Additional services include testing for radon gas for your family's safety, 4-point inspections, pre-drywall inspections, and roof inspections using drone technology.

Pre-Purchase (Buyer's) Home Inspections from True Home Inspections

Pre-Purchase Inspections

Purchasing a new home also means buying that home's problems. With a pre-purchase home inspection you can see exactly what you're buying. Problems discovered during the inspection could allow you to renegotiate to offset the costs of repairs — potentially saving you thousands of dollars. We'll even help you become familiar with the property.

Pre-Listing Inspections

Sometimes selling your home can be just as much of a roller coaster as buying one. Getting a pre-listing home inspection can help ensure a quick and smooth transaction. You can enter the selling process with confidence that there won't be any nasty surprises. You'll also avoid delays, which could last for weeks or even months.

Home Warranty Inspections from True Home Inspections

11th-Month Home Warranty Inspections

Don't release your builder from their warranty until you've had your home thoroughly examined by an experienced inspector. An end of home warranty inspection is a great opportunity to fix problems from faulty workmanship or materials — problems the builder should be accountable for. Many items we find are difficult to notice and could become a major safety or financial concern over time, leaving you to deal with the mess.

4-Point Home Inspections from True Home Inspections

4-Point Home Inspections

A 4-point inspection is often required by insurance companies for homeowners insurance policies, typically for older homes. The 4-point inspection is shorter than a full home inspection and assesses the condition of four vital systems of the home: HVAC (air conditioning and heating), roof, plumbing, and electrical.

Roof Inspections Using Drone Technology

We use UAV (drone) technology to give you a better look at your property, without the risk normally associated with climbing on the roof. Each full home inspection includes a roof inspection with the aid of a drone, allowing us to get a much closer view of every part of the roof to look for damage or improper installation. In the end, you'll have a thorough assessment of the roof's condition, along with clear photos of our findings.

Pre-Drywall Home Inspections from True Home Inspections

Pre-Drywall Inspections

A pre-drywall inspection is a great tool to ensure that your home is built to its specifications. During this phase of construction, many important items have been put in place — such as the structure, doors, windows, roof components, etc — but have not yet been obscured by drywall. Issues discovered at this phase are often easier and less expensive to correct than if they were discovered later on.

Radon testing services from True Home Inspections

Testing for Radon Gas

Radon is a naturally produced, radioactive gas — and the second leading cause of lung cancer, behind cigarettes. Radon gas can enter your home through the foundation and collect in the basement. A radon test will help to protect your family by checking for hazardous concentrations. If levels are too high, then a radon mitigation system should be installed.

Thermal imaging home inspection services from True Home Inspections

Thermal Imaging

A home inspection is limited to what the inspector can see. Thermal imaging (infrared) gives us a whole new way of seeing, and can detect problems that are invisible using more conventional methods. Thermal imaging is great for detecting moisture issues, electrical problems, and even areas where energy loss is occurring.

A Standard Home Inspection Includes:

Interior

  • Plumbing

    Check faucets and showers, looking for visible leaks as well as testing water pressure. Identify the types of pipes used, if visible. Identify the location of the main water shutoff valve.

  • Electrical

    Identify the type of wiring, test all outlets and make sure there are GFCIs installed where needed to protect from electrical shock. Inspect the electrical panel for safety issues and fire hazards.

  • Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)

    Determine the age of the furnace and air conditioner, whether or not they function properly, and possibly recommend repairs or maintenance.

  • Water Heater

    Determine the age of the water heater and check for proper installation. We can also determine the condition and possibly give an estimated remaining life span of the unit.

  • Laundry Room

    Check for proper ventilation. A poorly ventilated dryer exhaust can be a serious fire hazard.

  • Fire Safety

    Test smoke detectors and ensure that the garage wall, if present, has the proper fire rating and is undamaged. Also check the fireplace for proper installation and maintenance.

  • Bathrooms

    Check for visible leaks, properly secured toilets, proper ventilation to prevent moisture related issues, and more.

  • Attic

    If possible, check for structural damage and proper ventilation. Also check insulation and ensure that nothing is ventilated directly into the attic, such as the bathroom.

Exterior

  • Exterior Walls

    Check for damaged or missing siding, cracks, and excessive soil contact which can be an invitation for pests.

  • Foundation

    Check for possible foundation failure, indicated by cracks or settling.

  • Grading

    Check to ensure that the ground slopes away from the house, which prevents water from entering the house or causing damage to the foundation.

  • Roof

    If accessible and visible, check for roof damage or poor installation that may allow for water penetration as well as checking the condition of the gutters.

  • Garage

    Test the garage door for proper functionality, check for proper ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, and check for risks of explosion from ignition sources too close to the floor.
