What We Inspect During Your Home Inspection
At Inspect With Atlas, we take pride in delivering comprehensive home inspections that cover every critical component of a home. We leave no stone unturned so you can make confident decisions with clarity and peace of mind. Here’s what you can expect us to inspect, broken down into three key areas:
Exterior
The exterior of a home isn’t just about curb appeal—it’s the first line of defense against the elements. We thoroughly inspect the outer structure and surrounding features to identify issues that could affect the home’s integrity, safety, or longevity.
-
Roof — We inspect the condition of shingles, flashing, vents, and penetrations. We also look for signs of leaks or poor drainage.
-
Gutters & Downspouts — We check for blockages, sagging, and proper water flow away from the foundation.
-
Siding & Trim — We evaluate the condition of siding materials, caulking, and trim for signs of moisture intrusion, cracking, or deterioration.
-
Windows & Doors (Exterior) — We inspect for rot, seal failure, broken glass, and the overall condition of frames and weatherproofing.
-
Foundation (Visible Areas) — We look for cracks, settlement, or other signs of structural movement or water intrusion.
-
Grading & Drainage — Proper grading is essential. We assess the slope of the land and the potential for water pooling near the foundation.
-
Porches, Decks & Patios — We check structural integrity, attachment points, railing safety, and surface condition.
-
Driveways & Walkways — We inspect for cracks, tripping hazards, and drainage concerns that could pose safety or long-term issues.
Interior
Inside the home, we evaluate visible components for functionality, safety, and signs of hidden issues like leaks, pest activity, or structural movement. Every room, floor, and accessible space is carefully assessed.
-
Walls, Ceilings & Floors — We look for stains, cracks, settlement, water damage, and general condition throughout the home.
-
Windows & Doors (Interior) — We test operation, inspect locks and hardware, and check for damage or signs of moisture.
-
Stairways & Railings — We verify that stairs and guardrails are secure, safe, and meet typical safety guidelines.
-
Attic & Insulation — We inspect attic access points, ventilation, insulation levels, and look for signs of past leaks or pest issues.
-
Basements & Crawlspaces — We assess for water intrusion, vapor barriers, proper ventilation, structural components, and insulation.
-
Fireplaces & Chimneys — If present, we examine the visible structure of wood-burning or gas fireplaces, flues, and hearths.
Mechanical Systems
The home’s mechanical systems are essential for comfort, functionality, and safety. We thoroughly inspect each system to ensure it is operating properly and to identify any areas of concern that may require maintenance or repair.
-
Electrical System — We inspect the main service panel, breakers, visible wiring, grounding, GFCI/AFCI protection, and test outlets throughout the home.
-
Plumbing System — We assess water pressure, inspect visible piping, look for leaks or corrosion, and test faucets, toilets, tubs, and water heaters.
-
Heating System — We check the age, operation, and condition of furnaces, heat pumps, or boilers, and assess venting and safety concerns.
-
Cooling System — We inspect the air conditioning unit, distribution, age, and performance during the inspection (weather permitting).
-
Water Heater — We examine the tank or tankless system for capacity, condition, and safety features such as TPR valves and venting.
-
Ventilation & Exhaust — We assess bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans, attic ventilation, and look for signs of improper venting.
-
Appliances (Basic Operational Check) — While not technically exhaustive, we run a basic check of built-in appliances like ovens, cooktops, microwaves, and dishwashers to verify functionality.
