Pre-Listing Inspection
Getting an un-biased report of your home’s condition before you list it, gives you a great advantage. A pre-listing inspection identifies potential defects ahead of time, giving you the opportunity and time to make repairs that would have certainly been called out by your buyer’s inspector. This ultimately prevents surprises and closing delays, helps your home show better, and avoids small defects becoming large negotiation tools that can work against you. Providing a professional inspection report to potential home buyers will give them a feeling of confidence in your home’s overall quality. Trust in Worthy Inspection Services to help you get the most value out of your home.
11 Month Warranty
The 11-month warranty inspection is an inspection just before the builder’s warranty expires. In some cases, the warranty might extend until 2 years. This inspection is critical to finding defects in the home that might have happened during the home ownership process or were not found before.
New Construction Inspection
New construction home inspections allow you to get ahead of your home purchase. You can only inspect the home after the fact on a resale home. All you can do is repair an issue or cover it up in that case. A well-timed inspection allows your builder to get to the root of the problem. They can fix it before the build goes any further. Don’t judge a book by its cover. A new home may look flawless to the naked eye, but this doesn’t mean it’s perfect below the surface. Calling in a qualified home inspector can ensure that you’re making the best decision.
Termite
The inspector will look at the interior and exterior areas of your home, checking for visible signs of a termite infestation, which include: droppings, broken wings, mud tubes, and damaged wood. The inspector will check your baseboards, walls, windows, crawl spaces, door frames, insides of cabinets and closets
Sewer Scope
What does a sewer scope do? A trained, professional inspector will run a specialized, flexible borescope camera, which feeds images and video to a monitor. Then, this camera is run through your home’s drainpipe, to examine the sewer lines and other underground pipes for any flaws, imperfections, or serious problems.
Radon
Radon tests measure radon levels in picocuries per liter of air. While there is no safe level of radon, the Environmental Protection Agency set an action level of 4 picocuries per liter, or pCi/L. This means that once radon levels reach or exceed 4 pCi/L, you must take action to fix the problem.
