Why Do I Need a Professional Home Inspection

Prior to my Home Purchase?

The home buying process in North MS can be confusing and stressful. Not only do you need to consider things such as price and location, you also have to worry about whether the house itself has any hidden problems that could become costly surprises down the road.

As professional Home Inspectors, it’s our job to look for those hidden problems for you. The Home Inspection is an unbiased, professional assessment of the condition of the house. It provides you an expert opinion and professional report on the condition of the physical structure and various systems within a house. Giving you peace of mind on what is likely the largest purchase you'll ever make.

In order to prepare the report, an inspector must conduct a visual inspection of the house. The inspection process typically takes about 3 hours to complete. This of course may vary, according to the size and condition of the home. We strongly encourage you to accompany the inspector during the inspection. This will give you a chance to ask questions and become familiar with the systems of the home.

We will inspect all of the readily visible structural elements and major systems of the home. Items that will typically be included in an inspection are:

             Framing                                      Plumbing System

             Roof and Attic                            Heating and Air Conditioning System

             Foundation                                 Insulation

             Grading of Soil                         Ventilation

             Doors and Windows                 Kitchen

             Garage and Garage Doors        Bathrooms

             Electrical System                      Appliances

Additional items and systems unique to a particular home can also be inspected.

When the inspection is complete, well tell you of any problems that were discovered and discuss them with you. We'll tell you whether these are major issues or minor concerns. We'll point out any safety concerns we notice. We'll tell you how old things are where that's relevant, like your water heater and roof. We'll identify anything that's near the end of its typical lifespan. We will also tell you about any routine maintenance that should be performed, as well as answer any questions you may have. You'll also receive a full written report of the inspection.

Our goal is to discover and inform you of anything we find that might affect your purchase decision. We’ll tell you about any problems we find, and make repair recommendations. We’ll also inform you of what maintenance tasks are required to keep the home and its systems in top condition.
