Depending on the age and square feet of the property, most inspections will take three hours on average to complete.

Sewer Scope Advisory For Warranty Inspections

It’s a good idea to add a Sewer Scope Inspection to your Warranty Inspection. Know the condition of your home’s sewer lines before your warranty ends. Most drain deficiencies for a new construction are obstructions such as construction debris, drywall, compound, wood, and trash. Offsets such as improper adhesive, careless backfilling, heavy equipment damage, and slopes & bellies such as improper installation, warping. The signs that you will notice if you have these deficiencies are sewer backup and slow drain. However, it may take years for that to occur. Thus, leaving you to pay for the builder’s mishap. For peace of mind! Know what’s below before warranty ends.

Rental Property Inspections

Move-IN Rental Property Inspections

Each lease term should begin with a move-in inspection conducted by one of our inspectors for the property owners and the tenants. Move-in inspections document the condition of the property at the start of tenancy so that both the property owner & tenant will have a dated reference for any damage to the property, beyond normal wear and tear.

Move-OUT Rental Property Inspections

The move-out inspection is both the property owner’s and tenants’ opportunity to determine the overall condition of the property when the tenant(s) moves out. The move-out inspection should reference the move-in inspection paperwork (if applicable), and notes should be made about how the property compares to its condition at the start of the tenancy and what needs to be done in order to return the property to rent-ready condition, including repairs and cleaning.
