MY COMMITMENT:

 

Before I quote you a price on your home inspection, let me tell you a little about my qualifications.

I have a degree in Electro-Mechanical Engineering. I am a graduate of Hondros Real Estate College in Home Inspections. I am certified by the State of Ohio.  I am also a certified member of NACHI the Nation Association of Certified Home Inspectors. I have been involved in Industry for the last 26 years.

I will conduct your inspection as if I were buying the property for myself. The inspection will take approximately 2 hours, this is for a 1500-2000 sq. ft. home.  Larger homes will take proportionally longer.  I will ask for you or someone you designate as your representative to accompany me during the inspection.

I will thoroughly inspect every area of your intended purchase that is accessible.  If I am unable to inspect anything I will note it on the report.

I will inspect the roof by walking the roof if at all possible. I will open every door and window to insure proper operation.  I will evaluate all gutters and down spouts.  I will check every electrical outlet.  I will test every water spigot and drain for adequate flow and drainage.  I will check the attic, for insulation, evidence of any water leaks, damage to any sub-roofing, and wiring, if accessible.  I will check all walls for evidence of bowing.  I will check all floors for sagging or not being level.  I will inspect the electrical service panel and the service entrance cable.  If there is a basement or crawl space and it is accessible I will inspect them looking for evidence of water leakage, bowed walls, and evidence of mold.  I will look at the floor joist if possible and check for broken or cut members.  I will examine the HVAC system to the best of my ability, if I think an HVAC technician should be called to examine it closer I will advise you of that.  I will operate the heating and cooling system, if the outside temperature is at least 65 degrees, to make sure it operates satisfactorily.  I will examine the hot water tank to see if the safety valve appears operational and check that it is vented properly.  I will examine the landscaping around the foundation of the home to determine if the drainage and runoff is adequate.  I will check the operation of any outside water spigots for proper operation.

I can provide, at additional cost, termite inspections, water quality testing, radon testing, mold identification, sewer inspections, and gas line inspections/with one-year warranty against leaks. Some of these services are contracted out to qualified professionals.

Summary reports now emailed usually within an hour after the completion of the inspection.

I do Free Follow-up Inspections to insure that any items identified during the initial inspection as "requiring attention" have been taken care of properly. 

I do not charge extra for older homes, weekend inspections, or mileage for distances greater than 30 miles as some inspectors do.

I provide Inspections for the entire Central Ohio area. Simply put, if there is a For Sale sign in the lawn I will Inspect the property regardless of the location.

In short, as my companies name states, I will go Above, Below, & Beyond for you in the inspection of your intended purchase.
