Faber Home Inspections will prepare your Home Inspection Reports with easy-to-read details on:
After the inspection, we will review the detailed report with you to make sure you understand everything and answer any remaining questions.
A home inspection is a visual process where all of the items typically used within a home are tested and/or operated to verify proper operation or installation. Doors and windows are opened and closed, roofing materials inspected, air-conditioning and heating systems operated. The Inspector will fill the sinks and tub(s), run the shower(s), and flush the toilets. All the while making notes on the condition and operation of the components tested. A detailed report will be presented at conclusion of inspection.
New construction inspections are performed at the completion of construction, but prior to your final walk through with the builder’s customer service representative or superintendent. It is always a good idea to verify that utilities (gas, water, and electric) have been turned on, either by you or the builder depending on the builder’s policy. The inspection should be scheduled just a day or two before your final walk through with the builder. This will ensure that all, last minute items have been completed prior to your inspection.
Warranty inspections are performed during the 11th month of your 1-year Builder Warranty. The inspection will be performed to verify that proper building techniques were used and that the various components of the home were properly installed. You will be presented with a completed report at the end of the inspection along with digital photos taken as needed for inaccessible areas.
Pre-listing inspections are informative for the homeowner in preparation for the selling of their home. The home may look great, but have serious technical, safety, or functional issues present without the owner’s knowledge. Having the home inspected prior to placing on the market is the best way to identify and either repair or disclose any issues found during the inspection. Disclosing any issues up front and pricing the home based upon that disclosure will often times produce a higher net sales price for the owner.
Radon is a cancer-causing natural radioactive gas that you can’t see, smell or taste. Its presence in your home can pose a danger to your family’s health.
A sewer camera is inserted in the sewer cleanout on the exterior of the home and is run up to 100 feet towards the city’s main sewer line. This is effective in checking for tree root and other types of blockage. To properly inspect the sewer or drain lines beneath the home, a licensed plumber is needed to remove the toilets.
