Your inspection with Diligent Home Inspections covers the systems and areas of the home that matter most to your safety and your budget. I inspect noninvasively, meaning nothing gets torn apart or disassembled, but I do check every accessible area closely using both traditional tools and modern technology like thermal imaging and an aerial drone.
Foundation, framing, grading and drainage around the home, plus visible signs of settling or movement.
Roof coverings, flashing, chimneys, and any penetrations, checked from the ground or by drone where a roof can't be safely walked.
Panels, visible wiring, outlets, GFCI protection, and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
Fixtures, supply lines, drain and vent systems, and the water heater.
Furnace, AC equipment, ductwork, and visible venting.
Built-in appliances including the range, dishwasher, and garage door operator, tested for basic function.
I use plain language wherever I can, because your report should help you make a decision, not send you to a dictionary.
Read your report from your phone at the closing table if you need to. It's built to work anywhere.
Have questions after you've read through it? Call or text me. I'd rather talk it through than leave you guessing.
Buying or selling a home can be a stressful experience, but I’m here to ensure you know what to expect during your home inspection.
A home inspection is a visual, top-to-bottom look at a home’s major systems and structure, meant to give you an honest picture of its current condition before you buy, sell, or simply want peace of mind.
Pricing depends on the size, age, and location of the home. Contact me directly for a quote.
In order to achieve the standard of a Diligent Inspection, three to four hours is usually necessary. As stated, attic and crawlspace accessibility are also influencing factors.
You’re welcome to join me for all or part of it. Walking the property together gives you a chance to ask questions in real time, though it’s not required. Your report will cover everything either way.
No home is perfect, and finding issues doesn’t mean a home is a bad choice. My report simply gives you the facts so you can decide how to move forward, whether that means requesting repairs, renegotiating, or just knowing what to plan for down the road.
