A Home Inspection Is
More than Saving Money
If you are in need of a home inspection on Long Island, Element Inspections is here for you.
Whether you need a buyer’s inspection, a pre-listing inspection, or you’re just interested in the general condition of your home, you can trust us to deliver excellent services. Our goal is to give you all of the information you need about the property in question, and its overall condition.
After the inspection, we document all of the findings, images and additional details. The report will be delivered by email and 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.
In short, a general home inspection is a visual inspection of the home, and the condition of its components at the time of inspection. A thorough home inspection will generally take about three hours to complete for an average sized single family home. Below 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
We will visually inspect plumbing fixtures for proper function, including tubs, sinks, hoses, showers, and water shut-off valves, and look for leaks and other such flaws.
Electrical Systems
We will visually inspect both interior and exterior electrical systems including service drops, service masts, grounding, outlets, meters, circuit breakers, and other such systems.
Appliances
We will test and examine all major appliances that are permanent, like hot water heaters and other permanently installed appliances.
Doors, Windows & Interior
We will check doors and windows for proper sealing and drafts, signs of water damage, and more. We will also check the condition of all interior spaces.
Foundations, Basements and Crawl Spaces
We 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
We will examine the attic to ensure it is properly ventilated, assess the level of insulation, and more.
