"Why do I need a Home Inspection?"

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Inspections

A Home Inspection by 1st Check Inspection Services gives you, the Home Buyer, a thorough  visual inspection of your potential new home by a neutral, trained and certified professional.  Knowing the condition of the home before you buy or sell will assist you in making the purchase an equitable and smoother transaction.  A Home Inspection by 1st Check Inspections is done in accordance with American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI_®) Standards of Practice.  We will check over 400 items including interior and exterior condition, roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, and attics.

Should I be present during the Inspection?

YES!  We prefer that you be present throughout the inspection-  and please ask questions!  We will point out to you any problems areas, and answer your questions on maintenance, repairs and safety concerns.  We will present to you our report immediately and discuss our findings.

If you find anything wrong, will you fix it?

Our business is just home inspections, so we do not offer any repair services.  

When are you available?

We schedule all our inspections for daylight hours, and we work weekends too!  We will work around your schedule, but remember that a typical inspection can take up to three hours.

What about Radon... and Mold?

We are certified to provide a thorough inspection for Mold, which not only can seriously degrade the structural condition of a home, but can also cause discomfort and illnesses in many individuals.  We also provide certified testing for dangerous Radon gas.

I'm not buying a home- I am renting.  Should I still have a Home Inspection?

Yes. You are still making a sizable investment, and knowing the condition of an apartment or rented home before you sign the lease is just as important.  We provide the same comprehensive services for renters, and more importantly, we provide the same peace of mind.
