Pre-Purchase (Buyer's) Home Inspections from American Made Home Inspections

Pre-Purchase (Buyer's) Home Inspection

Purchasing a new home also means buying that home's problems. With a pre-purchase home inspection you can see exactly what you're buying. Problems discovered during the inspection could allow you to renegotiate to offset the costs of repairs — potentially saving you thousands of dollars. We'll even help you become familiar with the property.

4-Point Home Inspections from American Made Home Inspections

4-Point Home Inspections

A 4-point inspection is often required by insurance companies for homeowners insurance policies, typically for older homes. The 4-point inspection is shorter than a full home inspection and assesses the condition of four vital systems of the home: HVAC (air conditioning and heating), roof, plumbing, and electrical.

Termite and wood destroying organisim (WDI) inspection services from American Made Home Inspections

Termite Inspections

Commonly referred to as a termite inspection, Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) inspections look for more than just termites, including wood boring beetles and carpenter ants. Termites alone cause billions of dollars in property damage every year in the United States. Because they can be difficult to detect, a properly trained inspector is necessary to check for the presence of any WDIs in your home.

Mobile & manufactured home inspection services from American Made Home Inspections

Mobile & Manufactured Home Inspections

A mobile or manufactured home is inspected in much the same way as a standard home inspection. However, these factory-built homes come with their own unique problems. We will perform a thorough inspection to look for additional, potentially costly, issues such as misaligned connections, improperly installed moisture barriers, and sagging of the structure.

Testing for Radon Gas

Radon is a naturally produced, radioactive gas — and the second leading cause of lung cancer, behind cigarettes. Radon gas can enter your home through the foundation and collect in the basement. A radon test will help to protect your family by checking for hazardous concentrations. If levels are too high, then a radon mitigation system should be installed.

Mold Inspections

Some mold growth can be toxic, and mold spores can cause symptoms of mold exposure in some people. A mold inspection will tell you if your home has a mold problem, and identify the moisture source that is causing it. If you are selling your home, then it's important to have your home pre-inspected for mold to avoid delays for remediation, which could take a month or longer.

Pool & Spa Inspections

If you're looking to buy a home with a pool or spa, then it's strongly advised to get a pool and spa inspection. While these features are highly sought after, they can also be very expensive to maintain and repair.

A pool & spa inspection includes checking the pool's structure, safety features, equipment, as well as the surrounding deck.

Irrigation System Inspections

If you're considering buying a home equipped with a lawn irrigation system (sprinkler system), we highly recommend having that system inspected by a professional. This is a visual inspection of the controllers, connections and valves, exposed lines, and sprinkler heads to ensure that everything is working properly. Damaged or leaking irrigation systems can have high replacement or repair costs, and can significantly increase your water bill.

Well Flow Testing

A well water flow test will check the condition and yield of an underground well that supplies water to your home. The test checks the flow rate and pressure over an extended period of time. If the flow rate from the well is not high enough, then you may have water supply problems, especially for a large family.

Septic Load & Dye Testing

Septic repairs can be very expensive, not to mention unpleasant. A septic load and dye test is a non-invasive visual inspection using fluorescent dye to expose leaks in the system, and does not require any excavation. Septic load and dye testing is a common and affordable test to see if a more invasive, and more expensive, inspection is needed.

A Standard Home Inspection Includes:

Exterior
