Pre-Listing Inspections
A Pre-listing Inspection is a great way to be proactive when you are thinking of or currently selling your home. Almost every buyer will be hiring an inspector and it is better to be prepared. With a Pre-listing Inspection you can avoid any surprises once you are in contract and repair any issues that may be sticking points in your negotiations. Since you are planning on selling your home, this action also communicates to potential buyers that you are not trying to hide anything by providing an unbiased report. Additionally, if the buyers wish, a re-inspection can be arranged for a reduced fee. This extra option can help to ensure that any previous issues have been addressed properly. It is the buyers choice if they wish to use this service at their expense.
New Construction Inspections
Building a home is a great undertaking involving multiple work crews. Even newly built homes often have defects that can go unnoticed at first glance. Additionally, many lenders require an inspection at certain stages before they will finance the next phase. Our inspectors know what to look for in partially finished and newly constructed dwellings.
We also can inspect:
- Phased Inspections – As the home is being built.
- Warranty Inspections – 11 Month Warranty Inspection.
Commercial Inspections
Protect your investment by knowing everything you possibly can about your commercial building or property, such as retail spaces and restaurants. Your inspection report may be a great help in the case of any tenant disputes over damage.
Luxury Inspections
On large homes, AHI Inspections will send multiple inspectors to the house to ensure the job gets done in a reasonable time frame while providing the highest quality of inspecting. While most solo inspectors would need 1 or 2 full days to inspect a luxury home, an AHI Inspections team can accomplish the same inspection in 3 to 4 hours, while still being very meticulous.
Additional services
Water Testing
Is your water safe to drink and cook with? We can test for lead and other heavy metals, as well as bacterial contamination. Should we find unhealthy levels of contaminants, we can recommend ways to ensure your water is clean and safe.
Radon Testing
Radon, an odorless and colorless gas, is a leading cause of lung cancer. It seeps up from the ground and, since it’s heavier than air, tends to collect in the lowest level of a building. The good news is that if we detect radon, there are simple steps you can take to abate its presence.
Mold Testing
All homes have mold. Certain types of mold, or high concentrations of mold, can be hazardous to your family’s health. Mold testing—and taking steps to combat its presence—can be an essential step in ensuring your new home is safe.
Thermography Inspection
We use thermal cameras on every home inspection to help us find more. Thermal imaging shows temperature differentials which can indicate water leaks, AC leaks, and more.
Re-Inspections
In some cases, it’s immediately evident whether the seller has corrected a defect. In other situations, it may be wise to have a portion of the home re-inspected to ensure proper repairs have been made.
Termite Inspection
Carpenter ants, termites and other wood-destroying organisms (WDOs) can cause irreparable damage to your home. Catching an infestation early can save you from costly repairs, expensive rebuilding or even structural collapse.
Sewer Scopes
A sewer scope inspection allows us to view the inside of your drains to check for damage, bellies, clogs, and more. This is completed by running a camera through your sewer clean out or roof vent to the main sewer at the street.
Condo/Townhome Inspections
Have your condo or townhouse inspected by a professional so that you can get the peace of mind you deserve on your big investment.
Pool Inspections
Pool, spa, filtration, and deck will be inspected and we’ll let you know what needs to be updated or if your pool is ready for the summer.
