Home Inspection Day
What to expect from your Atlanta Home Inspector
Embarking on the journey of homeownership is an exciting chapter, and a crucial step in this process is securing a comprehensive home inspection. This specialized service ensures that every nook and cranny of your potential property undergoes a thorough examination, providing you with invaluable insights into its overall condition.
Our standard home inspection goes beyond a mere glance; it involves an in-depth analysis of various critical aspects that make up your future home.
Our Comprehensive Protection and Safety Packages encompass a variety of services aimed at ensuring the safety of your home and your loved ones.
Next is the interior. I’ll usually work through the home in a logical sequence, one room at a time and one floor at a time. All general wall and floor finish conditions will be noted throughout the home. Appliances and bath fixtures will all be tested as will all electrical outlets, windows, and doors. I will also take down the serial number and model information from any existing appliances, including the furnace, a/c, and kitchen appliances to provide the Recall Check report.
Once the detailed interior and exterior checks are completed, I’ll perform a thorough evaluation of the plumbing, electrical, and heating/cooling systems of the property along with checking all components of your home. When scheduling your home inspection this is the main reason we ask if all utilities are on. We want to be able to provide you with a thorough home inspection.
Finally, I’ll perform any additional inspections and tests, including a Radon test, or Infrared Services (Moisture Detection or Electrical Panel Scan) that you have ordered.
I actually perform a 48-hour Radon test where the monitor is set up and checks for radon continuously for a 48-hour period. I will discuss the report with you and answer any questions you may have (and it doesn’t matter how young or old you are) and address any concerns I have, or anything that is of a safety concern. The entire home inspection should take no longer than five hours (depending on the size of the house). Most are less than four. However, situations vary with each property. After that, your report will be completed within 48 hours and you will be able to download it right off of the internet complete with your full-color pictures.
I Encourage You to Participate in the Home Inspection Process. It’s a great opportunity to learn about your house and its important features. During the inspection, I’ll be happy to answer any questions you have. You’ll be surprised at what you’ll learn and being present for the inspection will help you visualize all the items in the report.
