WHAT TYPES OF INSPECTION SERVICES ARE NEEDED?
Whether buying or selling, a home inspection by professionals offers peace of mind and investment protection. A typical home inspection will include a survey and analysis of all house systems including heating and cooling, electrical, plumbing, appliances, interior and exterior structure, roof, doors, windows, attic, basement and crawl spaces. The goal is to uncover as well as anticipate any problems that may affect the closing process, or involve significant cost to repair, replace or remedy. In addition to the standard home inspection, most houses should be inspected for wood destroying organisms, (this is commonly referred to as a “termite inspection,” or WDO), and should reveal any active infestation and/or visible damage resulting from invasion of wood destroying organisms. Most mortgage companies require this type of inspection. It must be performed by a company specifically licensed to do WDO inspections.
