What does  Arizona Home Check inspect?

 

Your Arizona Home Check inspection will  cover over 300 items of potential concerns to identify deficiencies in the home including:

Structural
The inspector identifies the structure of the building in terms of materials used and type of construction, depending on the accessibility to the inspector. He checks for problems in the various structural systems of the building, including the foundation, floor, wall, and roof framing.
Exterior
The Inspector visually inspects the roof and exterior walls and notes deficiencies. Roof runoff controls and landscape drainage are checked and improvements are recommended where necessary. We check steps, walks, and drives for voids, surface problems, and safety hazards.
Interior

The inspector scans the wall, floor, and ceiling surfaces for problematic conditions, such as visible evidence of water penetration, potentially dangerous or toxic materials, fire hazards, or security breaches. He checks ventilation and energy conservation aspects as well.
Kitchen
The inspector operates the built-in appliances and notes deficiencies. Equipment inspected includes, but is not limited to: cabinets, counters, sink(s), dishwasher, disposer, oven/range, cook top, and ventilation.
Heating and A/C
The inspector checks the heating and air conditioning equipment and notes any deficiencies. He operates the equipment as temperatures permit.
Plumbing
The inspector checks piping and fixtures throughout the house for functional flow. He checks the system for unsanitary conditions and potential repairs, such as spillage/overflow. He surveys the tile work and domestic water heating equipment as well.
Electrical
The inspector checks the existing electrical system for sufficient capacity and safety. He evaluates the system in terms of its current condition and considers its suitability for future intended use.

 

 

Common questions about your Arizona Home Check inspection

 

Q: How long will the Inspection take?
A: Most inspections take about three to four hours. These times may vary depending on the size, age & condition of the home.

Q: Should I be present during the Inspection?
A: We recommend that you be present at the site of the inspection for the review of the findings.  And you are welcome anytime during the inspection, from start to finish.

Q: Why can't I have someone in my family who is very handy or a contractor, inspect my new home?
A: This is the biggest mistake many potential new homeowners make when purchasing a home. Although the person you are considering may be very skilled, they are not trained or experienced at professional home inspections. Professional home inspection is a unique skill like no other. Professional inspectors get what we call an inspector's instinct for problems. That instinct takes extensive training and lots of experience doing inspections to develop. Many contractors, and other trades professionals hire a professional home inspector to inspect their homes when they make a purchase.

Q: What if I have questions after the inspection?
A: You can call us and discuss all the aspects of your new home whenever you like. Our service is a long-term investment.
