A home inspection is a visual, non-exhaustive thorough evaluation of a property's condition, covering key systems such as the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, and more. The goal is to identify any existing or potential issues that may affect the safety, functionality, or value of the home.
A home inspector visually assesses the condition of a property by examining its major systems and components. They provide a detailed report outlining any defects, safety concerns, or areas in need of repair, helping buyers or owners make informed decisions.
Yes, Illinois requires home inspectors to be licensed. Inspectors must meet the state's education and training requirements and pass a licensing exam. Continuing education is also required to maintain the license.
The duration of a home inspection depends on the size and condition of the property, but typically, a standard inspection takes between 2 to 4 hours.
We inspect a wide range of properties, including single-family homes, condominiums, multi-unit buildings, and light commercial properties.
While it's not required, we encourage you to attend the inspection. It's a great opportunity to ask questions, learn more about the property's condition, and gain a better understanding of the report.
We use advanced tools like aerial drones, thermal imaging cameras, GFCI testers, gas and carbon monoxide detectors, moisture meters just to name a few, in order to ensure a complete and accurate assessment of the property.
