As a Pennsylvania law compliant inspector I follow ridged Standards of Practice outlined by my professional national association, ASHI. This means I will inspect all of the following (when accessible):
A typical home inspection requires 2-3 hours.
Because an infrared camera is used to inspect every home, I see beyond the visual. This is the most scientifically advanced way to inspect a property.
- Roof, including : materials, vents, flashings, and trim; gutters and downspouts; skylight, chimney and other roof penetrations
- Exterior, including: decks, stoops, porches, walkways, and railings; eaves, soffit and fascia; grading and drainage
- Structure, including basement, foundation materials and crawlspace areas, possible water penetration and foundation movement
- Heating system and its components
- Cooling system and its components
- Plumbing, including: main water shut off valves; water heating system; interior plumbing fixtures and faucets; drainage sump pumps with accessible floats
- Electric, including: electrical service line and meter box; main disconnect and service amperage; electrical panels, breakers and fuses; grounding and bonding, GFCIs and AFCIs
- Fireplace, including: fireplace damper door and hearth
- Attic and Insulation, including ventilation, roofing materials
- Doors, Windows and Interiors wall to wall and ceiling to ceiling
- Garage doors, including safety sensors and openers
- And much much more...
Because every home is of different size and age, the inspection fee
varies from home to home. Please see my home page for current pricing.
