Learn What to Expect From Your Inspection

Vigilant Home Inspections, LLC utilizes a thorough, multi-point checklist for the inspection process. I will explain the overall, general condition of the home and its systems to you, and your agent if you desire, after the inspection is complete – passing along maintenance items, recommendations for your consideration in correcting and taking care to point out any defects or safety issues that were found. In addition, I will compile a comprehensive modern report, delivered online via HTML, or in PDF format, documenting all of my findings. My reports include images, references and intimate details. This report will be available for you both in a desktop-friendly format and a mobile format, so that you can stay in-the-loop and check your report even when you’re on the go.

Wondering what’s included in a standard home inspection from Vigilant Home Inspections? Here is a quick overview of the services included in your home inspection, and the major systems that I analyze and assess throughout the process.

  • Roof

    The roof is one of the most costly and important structures. I will examine the roof, its structure, shingles/tiles, flashing, gutters, downspouts and more.

  • Exterior

    This includes the exterior walkways and doors, siding, eaves and soffits, fascia, paint, and other such elements of the home’s exterior.

  • HVAC

    I will visually inspect the HVAC systems including ducts, filters, furnaces and air conditioning units.

  • Plumbing

    I will visually inspect plumbing fixtures for proper function, including tubs, sinks, hoses, showers, water shut-off valves, and irrigation systems, if applicable, and look for leaks and other such flaws.

  • Electrical Systems

    I will visually inspect both interior and exterior electrical systems including service drops, service masts, grounding, outlets, meters, circuit breakers, and other such systems.

  • Appliances

    I will test and examine all major appliances like hot water heaters, dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, and more.

  • Doors, Windows & Interior

    I will check doors and windows for proper sealing and drafts, signs of mold or water damage, and more. I will also check the condition of all interior spaces.

  • Foundations, Basements and Crawl Spaces

    I will examine the foundation, crawlspaces and basements to look for signs of things like past water damage, foundation cracking or shifting, and other such potentially expensive issues.

  • Attic, Ventilation & Insulation

    I will examine the attic to ensure it is properly ventilated, check for mold and moisture, assess the level of insulation, and more.
