We review and evaluate the overall condition of new and existing properties and zoning often responsible for inspecting the structural aspects of properties, as well as the heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical, and other systems.
We also may see obvious signs of mold or water damage. While it’s not the inspector’s job to look for mold, if requested we can check and inspect the contaminated area send it to lab for verification but most home inspectors will mention obvious signs of water damage and the possible presence of mold in our report.
Commercial Inspection
We normally entail an actual inspection of the whole building on its interior and its exterior, from the roof to the foundation. They are detailed as to specific condition of items sampled.
The inspector would do a visual review of all areas of the building and its systems. This would normally include the interior and exterior walls, structural frame, roof, the exterior parking and pedestrian surfaces, interior floors, all plumbing, electrical and heating/cooling equipment. He would inspect the mechanical systems by opening the normal access plates and service compartment covers to allow an interior assessment of the particular piece of equipment.
Heating equipment is normally more fully inspected. At a minimum the system is run through a normal cycle. The air distribution ducts should be inspected where accessible in the ceiling voids.
The electrical distribution system is normally inspected by means of doing representative sampling of the plugs, lights, and other normal outlets throughout the building. In many cases when the building is occupied some of the systems can not be turned on and off. The distribution panels should be opened through removal of the covers to inspect the wiring and the breakers. The main entry cables and transformers should be inspected for visual signs of problems. The wiring feeds are normally inspected where visible in the ceiling plenums and in unfinished basements and or utility areas.
The plumbing systems are inspected for general function and leaks. The supply and waste lines are inspected visually where accessible. Water heaters are inspected for present leaks and probable life expectancy. Where there are fire suppression systems they are normally visually reviewed and the main water supply for them is visibly inspected looking for the most recent municipal inspection tags.
The overall structure is inspected including but not limited to the roof, exterior walls, windows and doors, paved surfaces, interior ceilings, walls, floors, ceiling plenum (void above the drop ceilings where so equipped) and or the attic are inspected.
In smaller buildings a client may choose to have the entire building inspected or surveyed from top to bottom. There is normally representative sampling of systems in the building or buildings. IE X number of plugs, lights, windows and doors. The primary systems (plumbing, electrical panels, heating units, cooling units etc) are normally all tested in a full inspection unless it is otherwise agreed to use representative samples.
The data compiled, (assumed to be representative of the whole) is than interpolated as to likely type and condition of represented equipment throughout. Commonly this option requires that the sampling is random and it is prudent to select a mix of types and locations in the building or buildings.
Usually the findings are than compiled at the our inspectors’ office and the findings presented in a final 3D inspection report. The findings should not only discuss the issues found but also the way in which inspection was done. It should include recommendations from the inspector as to follow up testing and or corrective action required or as needed to clarify the problems the need for technical review by a specialist. In most cases there will be a cost estimate for purposes of budgeting repairs and future replacements.
Inspection start at 7 cents per sq. ft.
