I Inspect All Of The Following Components

My Comprehensive, Snag (New Home), Maintenance, and Commercial Inspection includes all the above components. Also included are the stand condition, property boundary, and courtyard walls, swimming pools, garages, decks, etc. To clarify, an itemised list is provided below. Additionally, a thorough visual examination is performed for each inspection type.

Your property inspection

Firstly, I am a trained and skilled InterNACHI Certified Property Inspector. Therefore, you will receive a thorough, professional, non-intrusive, visual inspection and property report.

My non-intrusive, visual inspection is in full accordance with InterNACHI’s Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics.

My examination process

Outside the building, I will examine the property boundary walls, the garden, the building’s walls and roof, the driveway, the deck, etc. Moreover, if you request it, I will inspect your swimming pool. Then I will move inside to examine the walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows. In addition, I also examine the heating, air-conditioning, plumbing, and electrical systems to ensure that they work as intended. Likewise, bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms also receive a thorough check. I will check the roof (ceiling) space and the basement, if any.

Following that, I will prepare a detailed building inspection report that includes photographs of all the items visually inspected. The report will be clear and easy to read.

Moreover, as The Home Detective, I strive to ensure my house and property inspection services and reports are the best. I also value customer service above everything else.
