Inspection Services
2020 Inspection Solutions offers knowledgeable and reliable home inspection services to areas of Central Florida. We strive to give peace of mind to our clients, unveiling the facts about a property’s condition so that no missteps are taken in those critical closing moments of a real estate transaction. We adhere to ASHI’s and InterNACHI’s excellent Standards of Practice.
Buyer’s Inspection
This detail-oriented evaluation of a residential property will reveal the condition of most visible and readily accessible components. After the inspection process has concluded, we’ll provide an itemized report of our findings within 24 hours.
We inspect the following areas of the home:
- Roofing System
- Foundation & Crawl Spaces
- Structural Components
- Exterior (doors, windows, cladding)
- Driveways & Walkways
- Attached Garage
- Deck & Patio
- Interior (doors, windows, floors, walls, ceilings, stairs)
- Attic, Insulation, & Ventilation
- HVAC Systems
- Plumbing Systems
- Electrical Systems
- Built-in Appliances
Thermal imaging is included for no additional fee; aerial drone photography/video is also included.
Other tools that we’ll use for free during the inspection as necessary are: 360° camera, moisture meter, Spectoscope, carbon monoxide detector, and gas leak detector.
Additional Inspection Services
Pre-Listing Inspection
We’re able to evaluate any home that a client is preparing to put on the market. Before the property is listed, we’ll show up on-site to inspect the accessible structures and mechanical systems, providing a detailed report of our findings that will include explanations of potential defects.
When the inspection is conducted at this time, it allows the seller to make necessary repairs and to better prepare for negotiations with prospective buyers.
New Construction Inspection
After most of the construction is complete on a home, it needs to be professionally inspected for the home-buyer’s peace of mind and protection.
Before the builder’s final walkthrough of the property, we’ll inspect the most visible and readily accessible areas. In the event that we find deficiencies in the home’s construction, there will be time before final closing for solutions to be put into place.
11th Month Warranty Inspection
Before you’ve lived in your new home for a year, you need to consider scheduling this inspection service that will greatly benefit you in the long run. Most new home warranties expire within a year, making it important to learn about potential issues in the property’s construction before that first year has passed.
We’ll thoroughly inspect the entire home, providing a detailed report of our findings that you’ll be able to refer to when consulting your warranty agreement to see if recommended repairs or replacements are covered.
Home Maintenance Inspection
There’s no way around it—every homeowner has to spend time and money on the regular maintenance of a home. However, by having this inspection service performed annually, you’ll learn about emergent issues before they further deteriorate and require more expensive fixes.
We’ll also help you come up with a viable maintenance schedule so that you don’t have to stress over figuring out what needs improved at what time.
4 Point Inspection
This inspection is offered as either a standalone service or an add-on to a full home inspection. You’ll find that many home insurers will require a 4 Point Inspection before serious consideration will be given toward issuing a policy.
The inspection requires us to evaluate four key areas of the home’s construction: the HVAC system, electrical system, plumbing system, and roofing system.
Re-inspections
Re-inspections are often the final step for achieving complete peace of mind before closing on the purchase of a home. Most of the time, our initial Buyer’s Inspection will reveal at least a small number of defective components.
If the seller of the home agrees to have these defective areas improved, we can return to the property once the work is done to make sure that there are no longer any issues.
Wind Mitigation
This inspection service is available as an add-on to a full home inspection, or it can be scheduled independently. Before you buy a home in Florida, you need to be sure that it’s built to hold up to potential storm damage.
We’re able to evaluate the property’s current wind mitigation potential, recommending certain improvements that may need to be put into place in order to fully protect the home’s structure.
Radon Testing
Although there are known radon hotspots in the United States, It’s difficult to pinpoint when and where exactly radon may be problematic. That’s why it’s important to have a home professionally tested for this dangerous gas before you invest.
We’ll use top-of-the-line equipment to measure the radon levels inside the home, determining whether or not radon mitigation will be recommended.
Water Testing
Water samples will be collected from the tap and well of a residential property to be sent off for laboratory testing. This testing process will reveal potential contaminants that may need cleaned from the water supply, including heavy metals and coliform bacteria.
Aerial Drone Photography
Thanks to drone technology, we’re able to take to the skies so that aerial photographs and videos can be taken of your current or prospective home. We include this inspection service for free with a full home inspection, but it can also be scheduled independently.
Not only can these photographs and videos showcase the different elements of a home from a unique perspective, but they can also be useful for closely inspecting inaccessible roofing and cladding systems.
Sewer Scope
A Sewer Scope is available as a standalone inspection service, or it can be added on to a full home inspection.
For this inspection, we’ll use a flexible camera that can be inserted into a home’s sewer system to inspect the internal condition—revealing potential damage or blockage that you’ll certainly want to know about before committing to a home purchase.
