10-Point Inspection Technique - continued...

  1. Interior
    An examination of the attic with probing of roof framing and sheathing.  Insulation and ventilation are inspected.  All living areas including bathrooms and kitchen are also reviewed including walls and ceilings, floors, stairways, windows and doors, insulation, and ventilation.

  2. Bathrooms
    Examined for loose or damaged tiles on the floor and walls, lack of ventilation, plumbing leaks, fixtures, and drainage.

  3. Kitchen
    Appliances are inspected along with the condition of the cabinets and countertops and ventilation.

    *Note: Many other components are also examined during the extensive three- to four-hour inspection process which are not mentioned above.


New home buyers will then receive a comprehensive, narrative-style report — usually ranging from 35 to 45 pages including photos taken at the inspection — that clarifies, in detail, the condition of the home. In addition, the report contains useful information about building materials, building systems, and maintenance.
This is an invaluable resource providing a key to the condition of your potential new home that is well worth the time and investment.
