What is a Home Inspection?

The purpose of a professional home inspection is to provide information for our client, generally the home buyer, concerning any major structural or mechanical problems which may exist with a particular home. No home is perfect, even a brand new one. The best way to insure against surprises on move- in day is to be informed ahead of time. This service can provide piece of mind for the buyer, as well as informative advice concerning the maintenance of the home and the safety of its occupants. We like to think that our inspection system provides the client with an owner's manual for his home.

What is inspected in the Home?

On site inspection of the basic systems of the home including: roof, foundation elements, electrical components, plumbing systems, heating and air conditioning, exterior elements (siding, drainage, sidewalks etc.). We inspect each one of these systems thoroughly and non destructively as well as some of the more superficial elements such as windows,doors, porches and interior surface coverings. Some clients may wish a partial inspection of certain major areas which may be of specific concern to them. We will tailor our inspections and fees accordingly. However, we at Home Technologies feel that the complete home inspection is usually in the best interest of our clients. Our inspector is a trained to identify problem areas which the client may not notice independently.

Who is present at the Inspection?

We feel that the most effective method of conveying the inspection information to the client is to present it in person, both verbally and on paper, with the written report serving as a permanent reference. We prefer that our clients be present for the inspection; but, if that is not possible, the report is very detailed and will serve (along with a phone call) to adequately relate the home inspection to our clients. We strongly suggest that the selling agent be present in order that any questions may be discussed with all parties involved. The complete inspection should last about two to three hours.

We also inspect commercial structures and apartment buildings as well as condominiums and town houses. We also can provide Radon Surveys along with or independently of the Home Inspection.
