| Structural - Focal elements of the structure are the foundation and the framing systems. Each are critical in providing the building with long lasting integrity. Major defects in the structure can be very expensive and time consuming to repair.
Mechanical - Mechanical systems of a home are designed to provide comfort and safety within the living space. Each system has many elements and the inspector's skill and experience are used to evaluate the safe operational condition of each system and to report any observed defects. The mechanical systems are located in both the interior and exterior portions. Your professional inspector's high level of training, and experience will separate him in these areas from un-trained or inexperienced inspectors. Roofing - There are many roof styles and finished materials. Each style and material is inspected carefully for, wear, leaks, defects and other deficiencies. Roofing problems that go undetected can cause serious harm to other components of the building. The inspector will evaluate the condition of the material used, point out any defects and discuss the remaining life expectancy of the roof surface Exterior - The building exterior includes; siding, trim, gutters & downspouts, windows, roof, garage, stoops, decks, patios, grounds and related items. Interior - The home interior includes rooms (and related items) which are not covered in other aspects of your home inspection. Some items may overlap - such as bathrooms and plumbing, rooms and electrical, and so on. More extensive problems are often visible in other areas of your home: Settling can be noticed in the floors, walls, and the way doors & windows close. Roof or plumbing leaks may be noticed on the ceilings. And poor quality workmanship may show up on mechanical components such as outlets and HVAC Units.
