Home Inspection Services

Buyer’s Home Inspection

This is our very thorough typical home inspection that catches common defects, so you understand the investment you are making. We will inspect most systems and components of your new home to advise if they are functioning properly and that they are safe. We will be glad to answer any questions that you have during and after the inspection.  You will be provided with a complete, easy to read, digital report within one day. Our “Learn More”  link will provide specific details as to what we inspect during your Home Inspection.

Seller’s Pre-Listing Inspection

Some homeowners want to make repairs to their house before they put it on the market and will make repairs using their inspection report as a baseline reference. This inspection is preformed just as we would if you were purchasing the home.  To see all the components that will be inspected in your home please “click here”.   Please understand that most buyers will still want to perform their own inspection even if the seller can provide them with a copy of a pre-inspection.

Four Point Inspection

Many insurance companies require a Four-Point Inspection for new home buyers to obtain homeowner’s insurance and renewals for an existing policy on most homes. Our four point inspection is a separate inspection that we can perform during your home inspection or as a stand alone report if needed for your homeowner’s insurance renewal. This inspection specifically notes certain conditions pertaining to the roof structure, the electrical system, the plumbing system and the heating and cooling system. If you are a home buyer, this inspection is turned into your prospective insurance company for further review to help determine insurability.

Wind Mitigation

A wind mitigation inspection report can drastically reduce your home insurance premiums. Our wind mitigation inspection is a separate inspection that we can perform during your home inspection.  You will receive a report to turn into your prospective insurance company for evaluation. It is not a pass/fail scenario but, certain discounts can be applied to your policy based on shape of roof, method used to nail sheathing, roof material, method of attachment of roof to the walls, etc. This report is especially important if a new roof was recently installed to your home but, even older roofs can obtain certain discounts on your homeowner’s insurance.

Wood Destroying Organism Inspection (WDO)

A WDO (Wood Destroying Organism) or Termite Inspection, as it is commonly called, is an extensive visual inspection that checks for the presence or evidence of past, on-going, or possible conducive conditions for future termite infestations.  The WDO inspector visually checks for decayed wood from wood decaying fungus, signs of subterranean termite activity, drywood termite damage, or evidence from wood destroying beetles.  The visual inspection consists of a home’s exterior, the interior, attic locations, and crawlspaces of applicable homes.  Some lenders may require a WDO inspection prior to purchasing your home.  Please confirm with your lender if this inspection is required.

Water Quality Testing

We provide an informational drinking water testing package based upon FHA and VA minimum tests for drinking water contaminates.  The resulting color-coded, interpretive lab report will compare your sample results to national standards that are defined within the EPA’s Primary and Secondary Drinking Water Regulations.  Specifically, you will receive testing results on Total Coliform, E.coli, Lead, Nitrate & Nitrite. Specialized testing such as PH and Turbidity can be ordered on request.  Your testing results should be available within 3 business days of us collecting the water sample.  We will send you an email of the results as well as upload the results attached to your inspection report on our website inspection portal.  This water quality testing can be ordered with or without a home inspection. Some lenders may require water testing especially if a well is present on the property.  Please contact our office at 352.459.6173 if you have any questions or to email us please “click here”.

Air Quality & Mold Sampling Testing

We provide air sampling through a spore trap method which gives you the ability to obtain a snapshot of the air quality in your home.  We will draw one sample outside and up to 3 samples inside your home for comparison with this package.  The results will determine the presence of pollen, dust and dander as well as mold or fungi near the sampled area.  Air sampling is not a mold assessment but, the results can provide a great indication if further evaluation may be necessary.  This testing can be ordered in conjunction with or without a home inspection. Please call our office at 352.459.6173 for pricing or to email us please “click here”.

Pool & Spa Inspections

During our pool and spa inspections, we provide a visual inspection of the pool decking, pool shell, pump, filter housing and visible lines while the system is running.  We will perform a bonding test to prove the safety and continuity of all metal components within 5′ of the water and 12′ above the water of the pool or spa.  We will determine the functioning of electrical and gas heaters when possible.  We will also evaluate all barriers (ie. fencing, pool cages, ect.) as to meeting state law requirements as well. Please note: stand alone hot tubs are not included as part of this inspection. Please call our office at 352.459.6173 for pricing or to email us please “click here”.

11th Month Warranty Inspection

During the inspection, our qualified inspectors thoroughly assesses various aspects of the property, including structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC systems, roofing, insulation, and overall safety. They examine both visible and accessible areas, utilizing specialized tools and techniques to uncover potential issues.

The primary goal of an 11th month warranty inspection is to identify any defects or deficiencies covered under the builder’s warranty, allowing homeowners to address these issues with the builder before the warranty period expires. This inspection provides peace of mind to homeowners, ensuring that any necessary repairs or corrections are made promptly and at no additional cost to them.

Additionally, the inspection report serves as a valuable document that homeowners can use to communicate effectively with the builder and prioritize repairs or maintenance tasks. It empowers homeowners with the knowledge they need to maintain their property’s value and ensure its long-term durability and safety.
