Save with Annual Home Maintenance!  

A home maintenance inspection is like an examination of your home. The inspection focuses on the entire property’s structure, components, and systems and can determine what might need replacement or repair. 

​

  • Walls, floors, and ceilings

  • Windows

  • HVAC system

  • Roof and attic

  • Basement and foundation

  • Plumbing and sewage

  • Electrical system

  • Chimney

  • The exterior of the home

Your Inspection Includes:

Interior

Plumbing

Evaluating  the faucets and showers, identifying leaks and checking appropriate water pressures are essential in your home. Determining the types of pipes used and locating the main water shutoff valve are also key. We have got you covered regarding your plumbing inspection needs.

Electrical

Inspecting the home electrical system is  crucial. We will figure out the wiring type, test all outlets and make sure there is protection from electrical shorts as well as evaluate the electrical panel.

Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)

During our home inspection, we will figure out how old the air conditioning system is and determine if all components are working together seamlessly or if repairs or maintenance are necessary.

Water Heater

​It make sense to determine the age of the water heater and check for proper installation. We also will determine the condition and give an estimate of the remaining life span of the water heater.

Laundry Room

Our home inspection will show if there is proper ventilation in your laundry room or if a dryer isn't ventilated properly as it is a fire hazard and needs to be addressed.

Fire Safety

Fire safety is of great importance when it comes to a home; our inspections test smoke detectors and check that the garage wall, if present, has the proper fire rating. Additionally we will check all existing fireplaces.

Bathrooms

We will check for any visible leaks, check for proper ventilation and that the toilets are secured, as well as other necessary functions in bathroom wet areas

Attic

We will inspect attic areas to see if there is any structural damage, test ventilation flow and check insulation integrity.

Exterior

Exterior Walls

​We look for exterior damage, including missing siding, cracks and excessive soil contact where pests can easily intrude.

​

A solid foundation is incredibly important when making a purchase. We check for cracks and settling that can cause possible foundation failure.

Foundation

Grading

​Our inspections will report and ensure that the ground slopes away from the house, which is essential to prevent water from entering the home or causing damage to the foundation.

Roof

​

If accessible and visible, we look for roof damage or poor installation that may allow for water penetration. We also check the condition of the gutters and we can even use drone technology for a closer look

Garage

WHI will test to make sure the garage door is working right and that everything is properly ventilated (if it's not, it could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning). We also check for explosion risks if ignition sources are too close to the floor.

Preparing for the Inspection

As the seller, there are a few things you can do to prepare for the inspection. Being prepared will help the inspection go smoothly and increase your home's appeal to potential buyers.

 Brush and Other Exterior Obstructions

Make sure that all pathways are clear and free of any overgrowth or dead branches. All lawn equipment and recreational items put away.

Cleaning Tables

Cleanup

Show it off well! It's important that your house is as clean as possible. Not only does this increase how your home shows, but it also helps the inspector by having a clean environment that is more accessible to preform an inspection.

 House Number

It is always helpful to make sure the house number is visible from the street. As your home will have more traffic during the inspection and sale process you will want to make sure they can find it without any trouble.

Adjusting Temperature

 Utilities are Connected

Utilities need to be connected so the inspector can test things like water flow, electrical outlets, water heaters, furnace, air conditioning, and so on. Without the utilities connected, the home inspector will have no choice but to either reschedule or suggest inspection by a specialist.

Dish Washer

Appliances are Connected and Working

Appliances that are not connected to water, power, oil, or gas cannot be turned on by the home inspector. All appliances should be working properly, and unusable or not in use appliances should be removed.

Barking Dog

Put Animals Away

While we love animals some can become a distraction for the inspector. Make sure to be cognizant of animals that are not friendly with strangers.
