Expert Home Inspectors in Kalamazoo, MI

No, this is a common misconception. There is no whole-home grading or a pass/fail system. The purpose of a home inspection is to provide an unbiased assessment of the condition and quality of the home so that buyers can decide for themselves if the home is a good fit for their family.

While inspecting the physical systems and main components of a home, Jason frequently finds defects, including but certainly not limited to:Moisture concerns caused by roofing defects, poor grading, inadequate ventilation, or improperly installed or clogged gutters. Incomplete or unsafe repairs or renovations done by unlicensed contractors or homeowners. Faulty wiring, including exposed wire splices, unsafe knob and tube installations, ungrounded service or branch wiring, and other safety concerns. Plumbing problems, including leaks, clogs, slow drains, obsolete supply materials or drain configurations.

Jason always changes shoes or wears shoe covers, always cleans up any messes, puts things back as best as possible when moving items, assures that thermostats are reset and that ovens/ranges/fireplaces are off, and leaves the seller a note assuring them that those things have been done.

Yes. Radon is a naturally occurring cancer-causing gas and the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Southwest Michigan has a higher concentration of this gas than many other places. Our high-tech continuous radon detectors collect samples over the course of 48 hours for accuracy. This typically means that we will set up the radon several days in advance of your inspection, or we may place it at the inspection and return later if necessary for results.
