4) All Living Areas
Interior components of the home include various rooms and related items, our inspector will go through each room including all visible and accessible areas of the home.
This is a very important part of the inspection because symptoms of larger problems are often visible in these areas.
Settling can is noticeable in the floors and walls. Leaks may be noticeable on the ceilings.
Our inspector will go through every room making notes of relevant defects.
5) Garages
The garage inspection will include an attached and detached structure.
A few items to be inspected are the proper installation of electrical service (including ground fault circuit interruption or also known as GFCI). We test and operate garage doors and related components, inspect overall construction on attached/detached garages, and also inspect for proper firewalls and auto-close mechanisms at the access doors.
This is just to name a few.

The type, condition, and complexity of the electrical system will have a lot to do with the age of the home.
The older the home, the more complex and time-consuming the electrical inspection tends to be.
The electrical inspection will involve inspecting electrical outlets, switches, lighting, and any visible electrical wiring in the attic and basement.
We will also remove the dead front cover to the main electrical panel. We inspect the following items at the panel such as breakers and or fuses, wiring, grounding, double taps, etc.

A comfortable living environment is provided by the mechanical systems of the house.
Each system has many components and there are also many different system types.

The mechanical system includes all interior and exterior components.
