This is a noninvasive visual examination of a residential dwelling. The inspection is intended to assist in evaluation of the overall condition of the home. Whether you are selling your home on your own or using a realtor, it is always a prudent idea to have a professional home inspection. A pre-listing inspection can identify issues before they become an item for negotiation with the buyers.
Most home builders provide homeowners with a 12-month Builders Warranty. Ordering an inspection before the warranty expires gives the homeowner a professionally prepared report to go over with the builder addressing possible issues. If repairs are not needed, it provides peace of mind regarding the quality of the new home.
Investing in real estate can yield great profits when the right property is chosen. Many multiunit complexes have been rented for years and require extensive repairs. Buying the wrong property could be disastrous. An inspection from CIS will help you make an educated decision with a complete inspection of all the units and their shared roofing, structure, plumbing, and electrical systems. We will create a detailed report of the defects, enabling you to know what is required to create a safe and habitable living space for your tenants and avoid litigation and liability.
Our job as your professional home inspector is to alert you, to the extent possible, to unknown problems and potential environmental hazards in your current or potential house. CIS offers a non-invasive visual inspection of your property which can alert you to possible problems. See our Environmental Hazards page for more information. We inspect for these hazards:
Asbestos material that crumbles easily if sawed, scraped, or sanded into a powder is more likely to create a health hazard because it can be inhaled into the lungs, increasing the risk of disease.
Lead is a highly toxic metal that was used for many years in products found in and around homes. In general, the older the home, the more likely it has lead-based paint.
There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture. Molds can produce allergens, irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in soils, rock, and water throughout the U.S. Radon is a threat to health because it tends to collect in homes, sometimes to very high concentrations.
