Quality Inspections – On Time – And for a Reasonable Cost

Buyer’s Inspection

Scheduling a thorough home inspection is a critical step in the home buying process. This inspection should take place during the contingency period which gives you the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the home’s overall condition before the closing date.

You should hire a licensed home inspector that follows the Standards of Practice (SOP) issued by the state. The home inspector should identify and document any observations that could significantly affect the value of the home or pose an unreasonable risk to your family.

A home inspection in Elizabethton TN will not focus on anything cosmetic unless it poses a potential safety concern. For example: If there is a large crack or water stain on a wall, the inspector should report that type of observation but not report peeling wallpaper.

Remember, a professional home inspection will protect you by avoiding expensive surprises and stressful delays. A wise home buyer will never skip a Home Inspection. The risk is just too great. See our FAQ page for frequently asked questions.

Pre-Listing Inspection

A Pre-Listing Inspection is an ultimate gesture of forthrightness on the part of the seller.

Advantages to the Seller:

The seller can choose the home inspector of his/her choice.
The seller’s home inspection is completed on their time schedule.
If the house has any problems that need immediate attention, you have time to deal with it.
When the seller hires the inspector for a Pre-listing Inspection, he/she can assist the home inspector.
A Pre-Listing Inspection can assist you in pricing the home if there are problems.
The seller can possibly ask for a higher price if he/she can show that there are no problems, or the problems have been corrected.
Effective Home Inspections will provide you with a yard sign to promote your listing as move-in ready.

Pre-Walk Through Inspection

Do I really need a pre-walk-through home inspection? Based on my experience, the answer is an overwhelming yes. With the housing market having unprecedented low inventory levels, the current demand for new construction has skyrocketed. This demand has led to experienced builders being unavailable for the next two or three years.

Families looking to build a new home have grand expectations and tight deadlines to meet. These conditions can lead to contractors using less than desired workers and sub-contractors. On top of the labor problem, material costs have increased dramatically leading to contractors cutting corners to increase their profit margins.

For example, a building inspector may not mention that non-rated I-joist or LVLs were utilized in an exterior application, or the attic space was missing the recommended amount of insulation. Remember, the cost for a home inspection is approximately .15% of the construction cost, so let me help ensure you and your family are as safe as possible when you move into your dream home. The risk is just too great, so I highly recommend scheduling a pre-walk-through inspection today.

11 Month Warranty Inspection

Most builders will give you a one-year warranty after you close on your new home so don’t miss your last chance to get deficiencies corrected. Like a new automobile, you should get a thorough inspection before your valuable warranty runs out. With the inflated cost of materials and labor these days, repair costs should be on the builder and not you!

Approximately 11 months after closing, you should schedule a warranty inspection. This inspection will be based on a normal home inspection which will include all the major components of your new home. You would be surprised how often I find safety hazards and defects that developed during the first months of occupancy.

Once you receive the report, you can use this document to request repairs, as well as address any safety concerns. Oftentimes, these observations might be small now, but they can lead to a more serious and costly problem later.

Remember to mark a reminder on your calendar so you don’t’ get stuck with paying the repair bills on your new home. Since one defect under warranty could easily pay for this inspection, I highly recommend getting your warranty inspection scheduled today.

Radon Testing Elizabethton TN

Average Radon Level by County

Carter County = 4.8 pCi/L
Washington County = 5.3 pCi/L
Sullivan County = 6.5 pCi/L

EPA recommends a Radon Level between 2 & 4 pCi/l.

Is Radon a problem in East Tennessee? Based on the data supplied by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, radon is a very serious problem in our state. The data shows that radon levels in Tennessee are above average in many areas of the state. Some counties report that 16% of the homes have elevated levels, while other counties report that 33-75% of homes have elevated levels.

Many Home Inspectors in Elizabethton TN do not offer radon testing, but the risk is too great for me not to offer the service. Regardless of your zone designation or geographic location, all homes should be tested for radon. There is no zone or structure that has no risk factor for radon.

Water Testing Elizabethton TN

Water testing is cheap when considering the consequences. Whether your water is from a public or private source, I highly recommend having your water evaluated for a “Peace of Mind”. Depending on your location, land fields, manufacturing facilities and agriculture areas can cause fertilizers, pesticides, and heavy metals to leach into the groundwater with the potential to containment your drinking water.

The EPA does not regulate private wells which means that there are no testing requirements for wells. However, the buyer’s lending agency may require that the well water pass a water quality inspection. Typically, this will include checking for bacteria, nitrate, and lead prior to approving a loan.
