West Virginia home inspection services
Our allegiance lies with you. Inspected once, inspected right!
Buyer's pre-purchase home inspection
Performed during a real estate transaction’s limited “inspection period,” this inspection and accompanying report allow you to make an informed purchasing decision. This visual inspection will alert you to damage, components that are past their typical life span, safety hazards, and any significant deficiencies in the home. This inspection is often used to negotiate repairs with the seller prior to the closing of your real estate transaction. This inspection includes our “We’ll Buy Your Home Back Guarantee” and our “$25,000 Honor Guarantee”.
Wood destroying organisms (WDO) termite inspection
Many lenders require this inspection when purchasing a home. The report alerts you of current or past infestation of termites and other wood destroying organisms, wood decay, damage to wood, conditions conducive to infestation, and evidence of past WDO treatments. Observations are documented in a comprehensive report. Our WDO report is often ordered to accompany a general home inspection and rates are discounted when ordered together with a general home inspection. This inspection includes our “$25,000 Honor Guarantee”.
Seller’s pre-listing home inspection
Performed prior to listing your home for sale on the real estate market. This inspection and accompanying report allow you to gain a better understanding of your home prior to it hitting the market. This gives you the ability to make repairs of any discovered deficiencies and avoid repair demands and related negotiations from potential buyers. Having your home in tip-top condition creates a great impression for prospective buyers. This inspection includes our “We’ll Buy Your Home Back Guarantee” and our “$25,000 Honor Guarantee”.
Infrared thermal imaging inspection
Infrared thermal imaging equipment and cameras are used to aid in identifying and documenting moisture intrusion, energy loss in walls, roofs, windows, doors and ductwork, as well as unexpected hot spots in the home’s electrical panel, wiring, and fixed and movable appliances. An infrared thermal imaging inspection performed in conjunction with a general home inspection provides a terrific in-depth view of a home’s overall condition. This inspection includes our “$25,000 Honor Guarantee”.
Water sampling and lab analysis inspection
Typically required for FHA & VA loans on properties with private or shared well water. Common types of water tests include: micro biological (including coliform & other bacteria), lead, nitrates and nitrites. The presence of many other contaminants can also be tested for. All of our testing and analysis is with state certified laboratories. This service is regularly ordered to accompany a residential home inspection and also annually as recommended by local health departments, the National Groundwater Association (NGWA) & the CDC. This inspection includes our “$25,000 Honor Guarantee”.
Home energy audit inspection
A home energy audit will help determine how much energy your home uses and highlights areas of energy loss, as well as problem areas to prioritize for comfort and efficiency. This inspection is recommended before making energy-saving home improvements, or adding a renewable energy system to your home. It is often ordered with a residential home inspection on older homes when you have energy loss concerns and want to make improvements to your home’s energy efficiency after closing your real estate transaction. This inspection includes our “$25,000 Honor Guarantee”.
