Find a home inspector you can trust with Blue Ridge Home Inspections

The Emotional Roller Coaster

Buying a home is a stressful process, full of ups and downs. It's easy to become attached to a home before you've bought it, making it difficult to see problems clearly. That is why it's wise to bring in an unbiased inspector with specific training to assess the condition of the home.

By knowing the issues and shortcomings of the house you can avoid surprises later and rest easy in your decision.

With our general home inspection, you're getting more than your average home inspection. We cover all of the items considered in a typical home inspection, but we also perform the additional inspections listed below. Some of these services act as an extra layer to check for major potential issues, while others help to ensure comfortable living in your home.

• Check for moisture intrusion in specific areas, using a moisture meter that is capable of both probing and scanning.
• Look for grading & drainage issues, which can lead to major problems.
• Look for signs of different types of foundation settlement.
• Inspect the water supply line.
• Check water flow and pressure.
• Test the hot water temperature.
• Delta-T test (HVAC system).
• Inspect electrical panel and sub-panels in all buildings.
• Visually inspect the well equipment or water supply.
• Visually inspect porches/decks.
• A passive Thermal Imaging scan is also included (roof insulating systems and other areas).

A home inspection doesn't just save you money. It also helps to protect your family. Safety issues can arise from dangerous handyman work, outdated electrical systems, lead pipes, and more. We'll check the home for potential safety issues such as fire hazards, electrical hazards, structural problems, and hazardous materials.
