Home Inspection Report reviews Lot grading, drainage, downspouts, windows, doors, exterior, foundation – leaks, structural, electrical, mechanical, plumbingPeace of mind that comes from knowing that your home has been inspected by a skilled professional who is committed to his work. A thorough Home Inspection will make your lifelong dream of owning your own home a pleasant and rewarding experience instead of a nightmare filled with unexpected repair bills by identifying deficiencies that could amount to thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars over time arising from faulty structural problems , leaky foundations , mold , mildew , leaky building envelope , improper construction techniques , and other items that may not be visible to the untrained eye. While your potential new home is being inspected , existing features of the house such as windows , shingles , furnace , air conditioning and all major components that make up the home are being evaluated for life expectancy and future repair / replacement costs.
