What We Inspect

Our inspectors examine every major system and component of the home, from the tip of the roof out to the mailbox.

Roof, Attic & Ventilation

Roofing materials, gutters, downspouts, flashing, chimneys and vents. Inside, we check attic structure, insulation and ventilation for moisture, energy loss or structural concerns.

Foundation & Structure

We look for cracks, shifting and water intrusion in the foundation, and check basements and crawlspaces for moisture, structural integrity and ventilation.

Exterior, Windows & Doors

Siding, trim, windows and doors for damage, wear or poor installation that could let in water or waste energy, plus patios, decks and walkways.

Interiors & Appliances

Walls, ceilings and floors for water damage, cracks or defects. Installed appliances like ovens, dishwashers and built-in microwaves are tested for basic operation.

Safety Features

Smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors where applicable, and GFCI outlets in bathrooms, kitchens and outdoors.

Plumbing, Electrical & HVAC

Fixtures, water heater, visible pipes and drains; the electrical panel, wiring and outlets; and furnaces, air conditioners and ductwork for safe, efficient operation.

Home Inspection FAQ

Have a question that isn’t here? Call or text us at 614-662-1000.

What exactly is a home inspection?

A home inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of the physical structure and major systems of a home. It’s an objective look at the home’s condition on the day of the inspection, designed to identify existing or potential issues, safety concerns and general wear and tear.

Why do I need a home inspection?

It protects one of the biggest investments you’ll make by uncovering defects or maintenance needs that aren’t obvious during a showing. It gives you information to negotiate with the seller and helps you plan future repairs.

How long does a home inspection take?

Most full home inspections take 2 to 4 hours. Larger or older homes, or homes with extra structures, can take longer.

Do I need to be there?

It isn’t required, but clients and agents are welcome. Being there lets you see the process, ask questions and hear the findings straight from your inspector.

Can a house fail a home inspection?

No. A home inspection isn’t pass or fail. It’s an objective report on the home’s condition, and you decide whether the findings are acceptable or worth negotiating.

When will I get my report, and what’s in it?

You’ll receive an easy-to-read digital report within 24 hours, usually the same day. It includes clear descriptions of findings, photos and recommendations for repairs or further evaluation.

Will the inspection find every problem?

No inspection can. A home inspection is visual and non-invasive, so inspectors can’t see inside walls or under foundations without access, or predict future failures. It’s a snapshot of the home’s condition on inspection day.

What if the report shows problems?

Almost every inspection finds something, even in new homes. The report helps you understand how serious each item is so you can negotiate repairs, credits or price, or plan for maintenance.

Do new homes need an inspection?

Yes. Brand-new homes can have workmanship defects, installation mistakes or items missed during construction. See our New Construction and 11–12 Month Warranty inspections for builds in progress.

What isn’t included in a standard home inspection?

Specialized testing like radon, mold, termite (WDI), sewer scope, septic, well water, asbestos and lead isn’t part of a standard home inspection. You can add any of these when you book.
