Buyer’s Home Inspection
The most commonly performed home inspection service in South Florida is the standard Buyer’s Home Inspection. Our professional and highly knowledgeable inspector will give you the benefit of his experience, training, and dedication to friendly, punctual service.
Our inspector is very comfortable walking roofs and has an in-depth understanding of every critical part of your future home. If the roof isn’t accessible, we use aerial drone photography to determine if there are any issues. Each Buyer’s Home Inspection includes a visual inspection of the following:
- Exterior (doors, windows, cladding, soffits, fascias)
- Interior (doors, windows, floors, walls, ceilings, stairs)
- Attic, Ventilation, and Insulation
- HVAC Systems
- Electrical System
- Plumbing System
- Built-in Appliances
- Roofing System
- Structural Components
- Foundation
- Basement and Crawl Spaces
- Driveways and Walkways
- Porch and Patio
- Garage
- Smoke and CO Detectors
- Water Heater
Pre-Listing/Seller’s Home Inspection
One of the biggest mistakes a seller can make is listing their home before they’re aware of all the problems it has. This could leave you in a rough spot during the sales phase if something major is detected during the Buyer’s Home Inspection. Instead of waiting until the last minute to face any unexpected repairs, arm yourself with knowledge by booking a Seller’s Home Inspection.
Once you know everything about your house, you can decide what to repair in order to increase the property’s value.
New Construction Inspection
Building a new house is definitely exciting. After all, no one else has ever lived there, and it’s being built to your specifications. At least that’s the plan, anyway.
Unfortunately, errors can be made during the new construction process. Don’t compromise on your dreams or set yourself up to discover any nasty surprises after moving in. Book a New Construction Inspection service to find any existing issues before your builder signs off.
4-Point Inspection
Insurance companies tend to get a bit nervous when you ask them to provide a homeowner’s policy for an older house. Many of them will even require a 4-Point Inspection to ensure that the home’s four most vital components are in good shape. During this inspection, we will examine the Roof, HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical systems.
Re-Inspections
After the first Buyer’s Home Inspection, you and the seller will come to terms regarding which defects need to be repaired before you close on the house. Instead of blindly trusting that every promised repair has been performed, contact Southern Property Inspectors for a Re-Inspection. We’ll look through the entire house again to verify what was – and wasn’t – completed in a satisfactory manner.
Home Energy Score Inspection
Our Home Energy Inspector has been specially trained to calculate the house’s current energy usage based on your home’s systems and components. We can also provide you with invaluable tips for reducing your energy consumption. By putting these tips into action, you can save money while also helping the environment.
Wind Mitigation Inspection
We all know how damaging hurricanes can be in South Florida. To prevent as much damage as possible, many homeowners take special steps by adding wind mitigation features such as roof to foundation anchoring and water barriers.
During a wind mitigation inspection, we’ll determine how many credits your home’s special features have earned. This can then be sent to your homeowner’s insurance company to help reduce your monthly premiums.
Mold Inspection
No one wants mold in their home, but many people have no idea how to look for it. During our mold inspection service, we’ll use a moisture meter to find any areas that are prone to developing mold. We’ll also document any evidence we find of mold growth. Getting any noted areas cleaned up is important for the well-being of your family and the house itself.
WDO/Termite Inspection
Termites and other wood-destroying organisms can quickly spell disaster within any building. In fact, industry estimates show that termites alone are responsible for $5 billion in annual property damage nationwide. That’s why we offer WDO/Termite Inspections through a trusted third-party. By utilizing a professional termite inspector, you can ensure that you’re not buying a house that’s filled with these destructive creatures.
