A List Of Everything We Inspect

The Structural and Foundation Components

A home's foundation is a major structural component of a house - it supports the entire weight of the structure and the construction of a house involves forces. Most concrete foundations and basements will eventually exhibit signs of wear and tear-illustrating these forces at work.

A home inspector is expected to visually examine all structural components of a home. He examines exterior walls and cladding, interior surfaces, the roof (if possible) and attic space, the basement and foundation walls, and all visible support systems.

The home inspection report will detail your home inspector's ability to visually observe structural components, along with notes on condition and any repair and replacement recommendations.

Our services can spot early signs of damage and decrease the risk of paying a lot of money to get it repaired.

The Electrical Components

The electrical system in a house is just one of the major operational components inspected by Strictly Business Home & Commercial Inspections. However, because of the medium involved, it is one of the most important. An electrical system that fails to operate properly or safely is a potential fire and health danger.

Feel free to take a look at the Sample Home Inspection Report to get a better idea of how our services can benefit you and your loved ones.

The Heating and Cooling Components

A home inspector will visually observe the type of heating system a home is using. Most modern systems are generally central heat systems. He will note brand name and type of system-either a furnace or boiler and heat source.

A central cooling system is comprised of a number of essential elements including a condenser, and evaporator and a compressor. A home inspector will give these components of the cooling system a complete inspection and will check for coolant leaks. Any defects in the system are noted. Like the heating system, your house inspector will note brand and type of unit and may estimate age and expected lifespan.

In some cases, when systems are defective or not properly functioning, a home inspector may recommend a qualified HVAC specialist to inspect the system further.

The Exterior Components

The exterior of a home's structure is a vital part of any comprehensive home inspection. The typical elements covered by the exterior analysis include a selection of windows and major doors; exterior cladding of a home, or the siding; attached buildings, such as garages and storage; driveways, concrete walkways, sidewalks; and the general grade of the property, as well as a general observation of landscape materials as they relate to property drainage.

In many instances such auxiliary property features like pools, spas, and hot tubs are not covered in a general home inspection. However, Strictly Business Home and Commercial Inspections includes these items in their complete home inspection package.This makes them one of the most comprehensive home inspection companies in the New Jersey, Metropolitan New York and Eastern Pennsylvania region.

The Interior Components

Walls, floors, ceilings, stairways and railings are part of the interior structure. Also doors and windows are examined, as well as closets and other interior spaces. While most of what is inspected is visually observed, a professional home inspector can uncover clues to the underlying condition of a home's structural integrity.

A home inspector will note materials, condition and possible repairs. Peeling paint may indicate the presence of lead based paint, the health risk associated with exposure can cause:.

Other observations relative to walls, ceilings and floors might indicate structural failures such as sagging floors, or sticking doors and windows; moisture and leaks, which may indicate roofing or plumbing issues... which may lead to pest and insect damage.

Also part of the interior aspect of a home inspection is noting outlets; major appliances; plumbing features; heating and cooling vents in each room; radiators and major fixtures.

The Plumbing Components

All visible plumbing materials are noted on the inspection report. A home inspector will make comments on age and condition of materials and may recommend a plumber inspect further, or suggest that repairs be made.

A home inspector will test all faucets, checking for function and water pressure. He will evaluate drain plumbing and test all sinks, showers, tubs and toilets.

Most home inspection companies exclude water well inspections, deferring well components to a plumber

Strictly Business Home Inspections inspect water wells as part of their comprehensive, top to bottom, home inspection.

The Roof Component

A roof is a critical component of a home inspection in that it can be the source of costly repairs and replacements depending upon its condition and materials. What you do not see can hurt you.

Strictly Business Home and Commercial Inspections will tell you the condition of your roof and how much long it will last.

When visible, a home inspector will detail conditions of chimneys, skylights and other roof structures, noting seams and following clues for any signs of leaks or structural breach.
