The Process

Full-Service Defined

Our process is to follow a thorough, complete review of the home or commercial building in question, following guidelines outlined by the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) Standards of Practice including:

• Structure—We examine the foundation, basement or crawlspace, attics and overall construction of the house. We focus on issues specific to the Atlanta area, such as water and moisture problems.
• Exterior—Inspection includes all exterior surfaces and attached features, such as decks and balconies. Whether it is brick, siding or stucco, we look for signs of damage and potential trouble spots.
• Roof—Whenever possible, we perform a physical inspection of the roofing structure, including skylights and chimneys.
• Plumbing—We inspect both supply and drainage systems, including the water heating system. We also locate all primary water shutoff valves.
• Electrical—We inspect the electrical panels, testing for safety hazards.
• Heating—We run and test the heating system, checking for gas leaks and carbon monoxide, where applicable.
• Air Conditioning—Weather permitting, we perform a test on the air conditioning system. We will check the system’s overall performance to determine if any potential problems might arise.
• Interior—We perform a complete visual and physical inspection of all accessible areas inside the house, including kitchen, major appliances and garage.
• Insulation and Ventilation—We inspect all visible insulation materials and ventilation systems.
• Fireplaces—All fireplaces are checked for potential hazards, including gas leaks.
