What Does The Home Inspection Process Look Like?
ATR Home Inspection takes great pride in every property inspection we perform. We are a local, family-owned business that strives to provide friendly, professional, and quality service above the rest.
Whether you’re buying or selling a home, having a professional home inspection from a leading home inspection company will give you peace of mind and assist you in a fair and smooth transaction.
We provide a noninvasive visual examination of the condition of a home for pre-listing, pre-purchase, and real estate transaction inspections. During the inspection, we encourage you to be present so we can explain each area of the inspection and answer any of your questions.
Roof
The roof is one of the most costly and important structures. We will examine the roof, its structure, shingles/tiles, flashing, gutters, downspouts and more.
Exterior
This includes the exterior walkways and doors, siding, eaves and soffits, fascia, paint, and other such elements of the home’s exterior.
HVAC
We will visually inspect the HVAC systems including ducts, filters, furnaces and air conditioning units.
Plumbing
We will visually inspect plumbing fixtures for proper function, including tubs, sinks, hoses, showers, and water shut-off valves, and look for leaks and other such flaws.
Electrical Systems
We will visually inspect both interior and exterior electrical systems including service drops, service masts, grounding, outlets, meters, circuit breakers, and other such systems.
Appliances
We will test and examine all major appliances like water heaters, dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, and more.
Doors, Windows & Interior
We will check doors and windows for proper sealing and drafts, signs of mold or water damage, and more. We will also check the condition of all interior spaces.
Foundations, Basements & Crawl Spaces
We will examine the foundation, crawlspaces and basements to look for signs of things like past water damage, foundation cracking or shifting, and other such potentially expensive issues.
Attic, Ventilation & Insulation
We will examine the attic to ensure it is properly ventilated, check for mold and moisture, assess the level of insulation, and more.
