inspection Process
Buying a home is a nerve-racking experience in our lives. There is no such thing as a perfect home, but with a home inspection, you can minimize the chance of an unwanted costly surprise. A typical inspection performed by Anderson Home Inspection on average takes 3-4 hours to complete on an averaged size home.
Our inspector takes a methodical approach as he goes through the interior and exterior of the house to identify any damaged, defected, or hazardous issues.
There are 7 major issues that Inspectors look for:
Water Damage
HVAC System Issues
Structural Concerns
Roof Age/Damage
Plumbing Issues
Dangerous Electrical Systems
Pest Infestation
