All plumbing fixtures will be running water and commodes will be flushed repetitively for a extended period of time.

The inspector will access any safe access to the attic and take pictures of any visible defects, such as insulation, roof supports, overlay materials, decking problems, signs of leaks, improper venting of any gas appliances or plumbing areas. If the HVAC unit is in the attic the inspector will closely examine all condense drains and look for any defect that may effect the operation.

The inspector will take in consideration all the finding of the interior and exterior in analyzing the condition of the foundation. Our inspectors can typically find some indications of past foundation repairs and make our clients aware of those signs. I some cases our inspectors have found indications of possible damaged or broken lines beneath the slab that most all other inspection company either pay no attention to or are unable to detect because of a lack of training or experience.  Once the inspector finishes the onsite report it can be print out on site, review ed in detail and the inspector will answer any and all question you may have. The inspector will also be happy to walk the property with you and point out anything you may a question about. Our inspectors will spend as much time as you need on site as you may need.  Later the inspector will spend another one to one and half hours downloading the pictures he has taken, resizing those pictures and put them into the individual sections of the report, he will then finalize the report and email the report to you and your Realtor. Typically, within about 4 hours of leaving the property. Of course, there is a lot more that happens than this short description, but this gives you a good idea of the thoroughness of the inspection. Most average 2,200 sqft slab homes the inspector spends 4 to 5 total hours in the inspection, preparing the report, taking pictures and attending to the pictures and going over the report with our clients. The inspector will include his or her direct phone number so that you may contact the inspector directly should you have any questions. The day after the inspection you can call the inspector if you should have any question or need help in any way. We'll also be happy to call your Realtor to make sure they are taken care of and answer any question they may have.  We are happy to provide any assistance you may need after the inspection forever.

Systems Reviewed during the Inspection

The areas of concern will vary from one commercial property to another depending on age, usage and location. An office building, for example, is going to have very different requirements from a church or a apartment building. We'll check for problems, proper functionality, and obvious safety concerns. The list of systems we inspect includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • * Roof materials and installation
  • * Structure and foundation
  • * General Electrical panels and wiring
  • * General Plumbing fixtures
  • * General Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems

The goal of a commercial inspection is to provide the client with the information they need to enter into transaction negotiations with as much power in their possession as possible.
