Pre-Purchase (Buyer's) Home Inspections from Gestalt Home Inspections

Pre-Purchase (Buyer's) Home Inspection

Purchasing a new home also means buying that home's problems. With a pre-purchase home inspection you can see exactly what you're buying. Problems discovered during the inspection could allow you to renegotiate to offset the costs of repairs — potentially saving you thousands of dollars. We'll even help you become familiar with the property.

Thermal imaging home inspection services from Gestalt Home Inspections

Thermal Imaging

A home inspection is limited to what the inspector can see. Thermal imaging (infrared) gives us a whole new way of seeing, and can detect problems that are invisible using more conventional methods. Thermal imaging is great for detecting moisture issues, electrical problems, and even areas where energy loss is occurring.

A Standard Home Inspection Includes:

Interior

  • Plumbing

    Check faucets and showers, looking for visible leaks as well as testing water pressure. Identify the types of pipes used, if visible. Identify the location of the main water shutoff valve.

  • Electrical

    Identify the type of wiring, test all outlets and make sure there are GFCIs installed where needed to protect from electrical shock. Inspect the electrical panel for safety issues and fire hazards.

  • Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)

    Determine the approximate age of the furnace and air conditioner, whether or not they function properly, and possibly recommend repairs or maintenance.

  • Water Heater

    Determine the approximate age of the water heater and check for proper installation. We can also determine the condition and possibly give an estimated remaining life span of the unit.

  • Laundry Room

    Check for proper ventilation. A poorly ventilated dryer exhaust can be a serious fire hazard.

  • Fire Safety

    Test smoke detectors and ensure that the garage wall, if present, has the proper fire rating and is undamaged. Also check the fireplace for proper installation and maintenance.

  • Bathrooms

    Check for visible leaks, properly secured toilets, proper ventilation to prevent moisture related issues, and more.

  • Attic

    If possible, check for structural damage and proper ventilation. Also check insulation and ensure that nothing is ventilated directly into the attic, such as the bathroom.

Exterior

  • Exterior Walls

    Check for damaged or missing siding, cracks, and excessive soil contact which can be an invitation for pests.

  • Foundation

    Check for possible foundation failure, indicated by cracks or settling.

  • Grading

    Check to ensure that the ground slopes away from the house, which prevents water from entering the house or causing damage to the foundation.

  • Roof

    If accessible and visible, check for roof damage or poor installation that may allow for water penetration as well as checking the condition of the gutters.

  • Garage

    Test the garage door for proper functionality, check for proper ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, and check for risks of explosion from ignition sources too close to the floor.
