General Home Inspections from Blue Ridge Home Inspections

General Home Inspections

Purchasing a new home also means buying that home's problems. With a general 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.

New Construction Home Inspections from Blue Ridge Home Inspections

New Construction Inspections

Unfortunately, new does not always mean perfect. In fact, new doesn't even guarantee good. Material defects and human error during the construction process can lead to expensive problems later on. A new construction home inspection can help identify these problems early, when they're cheaper to fix. Some issues may even be covered under warranty.

Foundation inspection services from Blue Ridge Home Inspections

Foundation Inspections

Whether you require a certified inspection for a VA/FHA loan on a manufactured/modular home or a better look at the foundation of any home — we have you covered. We look at the type of foundation, type of underpinning, style of columns and pillars, and whether they are installed properly and spaced correctly. We also look for leaning, bowing, cracking, and other signs of problems. Finally, we will provide an inspection report which satisfies the VA/FHA loan requirements and gives you the transparency you need on your future home! Call (828) 243-7402 for pricing and availability.

HUD inspection services from Blue Ridge Home Inspections

HUD Inspections

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has strict requirements that a property must meet to qualify for financing. A HUD inspection is required to evaluate a residence based on 13 requirements ranging from sanitary facilities to refuse disposal, security, lighting and electricity, indoor air quality, water supply, smoke detectors, and more. A HUD inspection may be performed by a HUD inspector or a private inspection company with special training.

Multi-Unit Housing Inspections

Looking to buy an investment property with up to four separate units? We'll show you the current state of the property along with any needed repairs. The items covered in a multi-unit inspection are similar to a standard home inspection, with pricing depending on the size of the property. Get in touch with us for more information.

Manufactured and mobile home inspections from Blue Ridge Home Inspections

Mobile & Manufactured Home Inspections

A mobile or manufactured home is inspected in much the same way as a standard home inspection. However, these factory-built homes come with their own unique problems. We will perform a thorough inspection to look for additional, potentially costly, issues such as misaligned connections, improperly installed moisture barriers, and sagging of the structure.

Water quality testing services from Blue Ridge Home Inspections

Water Quality Testing

Water quality testing is important to verify that the water in your home is not tainted by any dangerous or offensive contaminants such as certain strains of bacteria, lead, nitrates/nitrites, other heavy metals such as arsenic, and more. Water quality tests should be performed regardless of whether the water comes from a public source or a private well.

Radon testing services from Blue Ridge Home Inspections

Testing for Radon Gas

Radon is a naturally produced, radioactive gas — and the second leading cause of lung cancer, behind cigarettes. Radon gas can enter your home through the foundation and collect in the basement. A radon test will help to protect your family by checking for hazardous concentrations. If levels are too high, then a radon mitigation system should be installed.

Termite and wood destroying organisim (WDO) inspection services from Blue Ridge Home Inspections

Termite Inspections

Commonly referred to as a termite inspection, Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) inspections look for more than just termites, including wood boring beetles and wood destroying fungus. Termites alone cause billions of dollars in property damage every year in the United States. Because they can be difficult to detect, a properly trained inspector is necessary to check for the presence of any WDOs in your home.

Thermal imaging home inspection services from Blue Ridge 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

Exterior

Do you have unanswered questions? Or are you ready to schedule your inspection? Either way, we look forward to hearing from you.
