Pre-Purchase (Buyer's) Home Inspections from Copeland Home Inspections

Pre-Purchase Inspections

Purchasing a new home also means buying that home's problems. With a pre-purchase home inspection you can see exactly what you're buying. Problems discovered during the inspection could allow you to renegotiate to offset the costs of repairs — potentially saving you thousands of dollars. We'll even help you become familiar with the property.

Pre-Listing (Seller's) Home Inspections from Copeland Home Inspections

Pre-Listing Inspections

Sometimes selling your home can be just as much of a roller coaster as buying one. Getting a pre-listing home inspection can help ensure a quick and smooth transaction. You can enter the selling process with confidence that there won't be any nasty surprises. You'll also avoid delays, which could last for weeks or even months.

New Construction Home Inspections from Copeland Home Inspections

New Construction Inspections

Unfortunately, new does not always mean perfect. In fact, new doesn't even guarantee good. Material defects and human error during the construction process can lead to expensive problems later on. A new construction home inspection can help identify these problems early, when they're cheaper to fix. Some issues may even be covered under warranty.

FHA & VA approved water quality sampling and testing services from Copeland Home Inspections

Water Quality Sampling & Testing

VA/FHA appoved! Water quality testing is important to verify that the water in your home is not tainted by any dangerous or offensive contaminants such as Coliform or E. Coli bacteria, lead, and nitrates/nitrites. We'll also test your water for turbidity (cloudiness due to small particles). Water quality tests should be performed regardless of whether the water comes from a public source or a private well.

4-Point Home Inspections from Copeland Home Inspections

4-Point Home Inspections

A 4-point inspection is often required by insurance companies for homeowners insurance policies, typically for older homes. The 4-point inspection is shorter than a full home inspection and assesses the condition of four vital systems of the home: HVAC (air conditioning and heating), roof, plumbing, and electrical.

Annual Home Maintenance Inspection

An annual home maintenance inspection will help to identify potential problems before they can become major financial or safety issues. With a trained eye, we know where and how to look for problems that might go unnoticed for years. A home maintenance inspection covers common problem areas including the roof and attic, basement and foundation, grading and drainage, electrical systems, water heating systems, and much more.

Thermal imaging home inspection services from Copeland Home Inspections

Thermal Imaging

A home inspection is limited to what the inspector can see. Thermal imaging (infrared) gives us a whole new way of seeing, and can detect problems that are invisible using more conventional methods. Thermal imaging is great for detecting moisture issues, electrical problems, and even areas where energy loss is occurring.

Mold inspection services from Copeland Home Inspections

Mold Inspections

Some mold growth can be toxic, and mold spores can cause symptoms of mold exposure in some people. A mold inspection will tell you if your home has a mold problem, and identify the moisture source that is causing it. If you are selling your home, then it's important to have your home pre-inspected for mold to avoid delays for remediation, which could take a month or longer.

Asbestos inspection services from Copeland Home Inspections

Asbestos Inspection

Until the 1980s, asbestos was widely used in construction, insulation, tiles, paint, and more. To this day, the use of asbestos is still legal, though limited, in the United States. If your home was built before 1980, or if there are materials that you suspect might contain asbestos, then we highly recommend having your property inspected by a trained professional.

A Standard Home Inspection Includes:

Interior

  • Plumbing

    Check faucets and showers, looking for visible leaks as well as testing water pressure. Identify the types of pipes used, if visible. Identify the location of the main water shutoff valve.

  • Electrical

    Identify the type of wiring, test all outlets and make sure there are GFCIs installed where needed to protect from electrical shock. Inspect the electrical panel for safety issues and fire hazards.

  • Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)

    Determine the age of the furnace and air conditioner, whether or not they function properly, and possibly recommend repairs or maintenance.

  • Water Heater

    Determine the age of the water heater and check for proper installation. We can also determine the condition and possibly give an estimated remaining life span of the unit.

  • Laundry Room

    Check for proper ventilation. A poorly ventilated dryer exhaust can be a serious fire hazard.

  • Fire Safety

    Test smoke detectors and ensure that the garage wall, if present, has the proper fire rating and is undamaged. Also check the fireplace for proper installation and maintenance.

  • Bathrooms

    Check for visible leaks, properly secured toilets, proper ventilation to prevent moisture related issues, and more.

  • Attic

    If possible, check for structural damage and proper ventilation. Also check insulation and ensure that nothing is ventilated directly into the attic, such as the bathroom.

Exterior

  • Exterior Walls

    Check for damaged or missing siding, cracks, and excessive soil contact which can be an invitation for pests.

  • Foundation

    Check for possible foundation failure, indicated by cracks or settling.

  • Grading

    Check to ensure that the ground slopes away from the house, which prevents water from entering the house or causing damage to the foundation.

  • Roof

    If accessible and visible, check for roof damage or poor installation that may allow for water penetration as well as checking the condition of the gutters.

  • Garage

    Test the garage door for proper functionality, check for proper ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, and check for risks of explosion from ignition sources too close to the floor.
