What We Inspect during Home Inspection
As part of your home inspection the Innisfil Home inspector starts on the exterior of your new home and examines all landscaping, sidewalks, decks, windows, doors, roof, gutters and trim. The drainage of water from roofs and sump pumps etc is also evaluated.
All Inspections are covered by our 100% Money Back Guarantee
The basement of your home typically contains most of your home main system components, such as: heating, plumbing, HRV, sump pumps, drains, structural supports and electrical panels and wiring.
We will removed electrical panel cover if any work has been added to panel. Ensure all joist hangers are fully nailed and the properly rated nails are used. The plumbing supply and drain system will be inspected to ensure proper connections and fittings are used.
After working our way through the home into the attic we then review all our findings with the potential buyers. A computerized report is then generated which will include all pictures taken during the home inspection.
Here are the key areas you can expect to be covered in a home inspection report:
• Structural components including foundation and framing of the home.
• Exterior features including siding, soffit, porches, balconies, walkways, railings and driveways.
• Roof system including shingles, flashing and skylights.
• Electrical system including service panels, breakers and fuses.
• Plumbing systems including pipes, drains, water heating equipment and sump pumps.
• Heating system including equipment and venting.
• Cooling system including energy sources and distribution equipment.
• Interior features including walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, stairs and railings.
• Insulation and ventilation including those in the attic and other unfinished spaces.
• Fireplaces including chimneys and vents.
At the end of the inspection we then scan the entire home with our Thermal Imaging Camera, looking for any hidden moisture, missing insulation or electrical hot spots.
