What Does a Home Inspection Look Like?
Here's What You Get With a Homescope Inspection
High-Quality Images
We will take images throughout our inspection and integrate them into our report, illustrating the issues that we may find with the property in question, providing you with a comprehensive overview of its condition.
Step-by-Step Breakdown
Our reports are easy to digest and understand. They are broken into individual sections, such as Interior, Heating and Air Conditioning, Electrical, Plumbing, Roof, and so on. This makes it easy for you to review our findings.
Mobile Friendly Reports
Our reports can be generated for viewing on both desktop and mobile devices, ensuring that you can always view the results of your inspection, even when you’re on-the-go.
24 Hour Email Delivery
We know your time is valuable so we won’t keep you waiting. We guarantee that we will deliver your report to you within 24 hours of your inspection so that you can take any necessary actions quickly.
Follow Up Support
Once we have delivered your report, you or your agent are welcome to call us at anytime for additional support or questions to help you decide on the next steps.
Repair Request Generator
Agents can quickly copy and paste information from the report using the Repair Request Document Generator, in order to request concessions or repairs from sellers.
Whether you are buying, selling or maintaining your home, Home Scope Inspections provides professional and quality service from the moment you call us. We will walk through your home with you and explain everything we find. We strictly follow the Standards of Practice for home inspectors established by InterNachi, the leading home inspection association.
​
After we walk through the home together, we will explain the general condition of the home and systems with you and your agent. We will talk through any major issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. We will also mention the items that you will want to keep an eye on for deferred maintenance. All of this will be detailed in our easy-to-read Spectora report, which will be delivered in HTML and/or PDF format. From that report, you will be able to see the items we discussed, with images for reference.
Roof
The roof is one of the most costly and important structures. We 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
We 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 like water heaters, washers and dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, and more.
Doors, Windows & Interior
We will check doors and windows for proper sealing and drafts, signs of mold or water damage, and more. We will also check the condition of all interior spaces.
Foundations, Basements & 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, check for mold and moisture, assess the level of insulation, and more.
