WHAT GOES INTO AN INSPECTION?

Realty Check provides buyers with an impartial evaluation of the overall condition of the home and will address items that need to be repaired, replaced or monitored. The findings are then presented to you in a report with pictures, written in a language you can understand. Realty Check offers the most comprehensive home inspection backed by over eighteen years of experience in the construction, building material, maintenance, and inspection fields combined. Realty Check's FULL home inspection is a 300 line itemized narrative report of the home's readily accessible elements, systems and components, including careful inspection of each of the following areas:

Site: grading, retaining walls, driveways, sidewalks, patios, decks, drainage. Exterior / Substructure: balconies, porches, decks, patios, chimneys, walls, trim, eaves, foundation, basement, crawl spaces, siding. Garage: exterior, roof, interior, firewall, vents, doors. Attics / Roof: gutters, downspouts, flashings, roofing material, ventilation, insulation. Plumbing: water heaters, distribution and waste pipes, venting, toilets, tubs, showers, sinks. Electrical: main service cable, service rating, branch circuits, grounding, receptacles & switches. Heating / Air Conditioning: equipment condition, operation, distribution, venting. AND Much, Much More!

WDO / PEST INSPECTIONS

A complete Wood Destroying Organism, Structural Pest Inspection is an integral part of your FULL Home inspection. Your inspection report will include a description and location of any WDO Pest issues and conditions that are known to be conducive to their existence or development.

WHEN DO I SCHEDULE AN INSPECTION?

Typically, a home inspection is scheduled just after an offer is accepted between a buyer and a seller or buyer and the builder. It is your responsibility to be informed -- sellers are not always aware about potentially costly flaws, and builders may have overlooked a few items. You have the right to carefully examine your new home with a qualified home inspector.

MAINTENANCE & PRE SALE INSPECTIONS

We can also inspect your home once a year to identify problem areas as they arise prior to them becoming a huge problem. This is especially helpful when you are thinking about selling your home, as we can identify issue(s) a buyers inspection typically will reveal any ways. You can be proactive in addressing them thus eliminating a slow closing or worse,.. a deal gone bad.
