A solar system inspection is performed for home owners to determine if the system is installed and operating properly. The system is inspected for proper installation, damaged components, energy output, expected life, and more. This covers inspection of the solar panels, mounting equipment, wiring, inverter, batteries, energy output, and more. Often an inexpensive inspection can reveal issues that can cost the homeowner thousands of dollars in maintenance, as well as lost energy production. 

A sewer scope inspection is performed  for homeowners who are experiencing slow drains/blockage, or wish to verify the absence of those items, in the sewer  system. Sewer scope inspection of the main lateral lines beneath the structure & yard  lines. (For homes with a septic system sewer scope inspection will only  be performed for the lateral lines beneath the structure).

A foundation inspection is generally performed for people whose homes are experiencing foundation movement. Foundation inspection includes a high precision altimeter foundation level measurement, inspecting the home for structural movements such as structural cracks, trim separations, sticking doors, and misaligned windows.

An irrigation inspection is an inspection of a home’s sprinkler system and the components that make it up. Although much of your sprinkler system is located underground, your inspector will not be digging up the yard to look at the underground components. However, they can tell a lot by doing a visual analysis of the system and above-ground components. If your irrigation system has small issues, you might not notice them right away. Over time the issues will worsen and can be costly to fix. Water leaks can cause grading issues to your home, with water pooling around the foundation and eventually allowing it to shift – which is difficult and expensive to repair.

If you are selling or buying a manufactured home, most likely a foundation certification will be required. For all FHA and VA loans, an engineer's foundation certification is required stating that the home is placed on a permanent foundation complying with the "HUD Permanent Foundation Guide for Manufactured Homes", dated 1996 by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). We have partnered with third party engineers to provide these foundation certifications for you, making it a simple process.

An  outbuilding inspection is performed  for people who are buying or  selling a home with an outbuilding. (ie:  pool house, guest house,  apartment, etc.) An outbuilding inspection covers the same items as the  buyer’s inspection – including the foundation level measurement and  infrared scan.
