The home
buying process in the Nashville area can be confusing and
stressful. Not only do you need to consider
things such as price and location, you also
have to worry about whether the house itself
has any hidden problems that could become
costly surprises down the road.As
professional Home Inspectors, its our job to
look for those hidden problems for you. The
Home Inspection is an unbiased, professional
assessment of the condition of the house. It
provides you an expert opinion and
professional report on the condition of the
physical structure and various systems
within a house. Giving you peace of mind on
what is likely the largest purchase you'll
ever make.
In order to prepare the report, an
inspector must conduct a visual inspection
of the house. The inspection process
typically takes about 3 hours to complete.
This of course may vary, according to the
size and condition of the home. We strongly
encourage you to accompany the inspector
during the inspection. This will give you a
chance to ask questions and become familiar
with the systems of the home.
We will inspect all of the readily
visible structural elements and major
systems of the home. Items that will
typically be included in an inspection are:
Framing (structure)
Roof and attic
Foundation
Grading of soil
Doors & windows
Garage & garage doors
Electrical system
Plumbing system
Heating and air conditioning systems
Insulation
Ventilation
Kitchen
Bathrooms
Appliances
Swimming pools (additional fee)
Additional items and systems unique to a
particular home can also be inspected.
When the inspection is complete, well
tell you of any problems that were
discovered and discuss them with you. We'll
tell you whether these are major issues or
minor concerns. We'll point out any safety
concerns we notice. We'll tell you how old
things are where that's relevant, like your
water heater and roof. We'll identify
anything that's near the end of its typical
lifespan. We will also tell you about any
routine maintenance that should be
performed, as well as answer any questions
you may have. You'll also receive a full
written report of the inspection.
Our goal is to discover and inform you of
anything we find that might affect your
purchase decision. Well tell you about any
problems we find, and make repair
recommendations. Well also inform you of
what maintenance tasks are required to keep
the home and its systems in top condition.
