A home inspection is a process in which I go through the home and make sure the home is safe
for you to live in. A typical home inspection will cover the foundation, electrical, plumbing, roof, and any other part of the house that I can get to to ensure its safety.

It is always good to have your home inspected when buying or selling your house. If you are
selling your house it is a tool that can be used for you to help you properly price your house and know any potential red flags that the buyer may find. If you are buying a house, it is a good thing for you to get to make sure you know of any possible disclosures
that could have been hidden or unknown about the house, and give you leverage when negotiating.

Absolutely, I encourage everyone to attend the inspection. The inspection can take several hours, however this is a good chance for you to take any measurements of the house, or ask any questions that you may have about a part of the house.

A typical home inspection will last approximately 2 1/2 hours. However, depending on what is found or the square footage of the house it can last for a few more hours than that.

At a home inspection, the inspection will cover all components of the house inside and out. At Smith Inspections, we also offer a free 90-day warranty for any of the appliances and other components of the house. We also make sure you have the report before we leave the property. So that you have anything that you need before we leave.

Any potential problem in the house will be documented in the report, and we will do our best to ensure that we are completely transparent to help you make an informed decision as to what your next steps should be. However, even the smallest and largest problems will still be up to the homeowner to decide if the problems found is a dealbreaker for them in the homebuying process.

Radon is a gas that is emitted from the ground when mixed from broken rocks.

Radon gets into your house through open windows and cracks in the foundation. It is found in most homes, however, it is not at a high enough level to affect most people. The most common times I encourage a radon test is whenever a home has a basement.

Getting a home inspection as a buyer is a great negotiation tool to help you make the right decision when purchasing a home. It gives a sense of peace of mind to know that the home you are purchasing is in acceptable condition.

The typical home inspection will cost $350. However other factors could raise the price such as higher square footage homes, septic tanks, pools, WDI inspections, and other potential things on the property.

There are no bad questions to ask during a home inspection, if you have a question about how something works or if it is in good condition make sure you ask the question. Other questions to ask before the home inspection would be how do you inspect the roof, or what happens if the A/C goes out after the inspection.

If you are selling a home and are having an inspection done to it then the biggest thing to make sure of is to make sure all attics and crawl spaces are accessible, and all utilities are turned on. We can take it from there, however we need to make sure those things are done prior to us trying to inspect the home.
