New & Existing Home – Structural Inspection
The structural inspection covers the structure of the building in terms of materials used and type of construction. Foundation type,
framing materials, and other significant sub-components are noted along with any deficiencies. The home inspector also checks
for major or minor problems in the foundation, floor, wall, roof framing, drainage & grading. Do not buy a home without a structural
inspection. We have been a trusted League City home inspector for years, providing quality home inspection services.
New & Existing Home – Electrical
The electrical system is checked for sufficient capacity and safety, and evaluated in terms of its current condition and suitability for
future use. Upgrades and repairs are recommended where appropriate. Conditions are evaluated against current home
requirements. Requirements may be different that those in another area depending on where and when the home was built.
New & Existing Home – Heating and Air Conditioning
The inspector assesses the capacity of the existing equipment, and by considering the age of the equipment and its intended
capacity, approximates the life expectancy and recommends appropriate repairs an upgrades. You don't want to experience a
summer without a proper operating air conditioner.
New & Existing Home – Plumbing
Piping and fixtures throughout the house are checked for function flow and life expectancies. They are screened for unsanitary
conditions and potential repairs, spillage/overflow, leaks & water related damage. Laundry equipment, tile work, and domestic
water heating equipment are also surveyed.
New & Existing Home – Crawl Space/Slab
Water seepage probabilities and structural problems are evaluated and remediation advice given if needed. The inspector also
looks for possible problem areas that could cause structural problems, such as poor soil, surface drainage, proximity to tree roots
and rotating stoops. Numerous older homes are built on pier and beam foundations, these foundations in combination with soil
conditions lend to foundation and eventually structural issues with the property.
New & Existing Home – Kitchen
All appliances are operated and deficiencies noted. The inspector approximates the age of each piece and its life expectancy. The
inspector may also, depending on the age and usefulness of the kitchen, suggested repairs ranging from addressing typical minor
problems to a complete renovation, also GFCI and safety is addressed.
New & Existing Home – Interior
Walls, floors and ceiling surfaces are scanned for problematic conditions, visible evidence of water penetration, other visible
damages, potentially dangerous or toxic materials, fire hazards, or security breaches. Ventilation and energy conservation aspects
are checked and appropriate corrections are recommended. Foundation issues with your home can lead to severe and very
costly interior and exterior developments.
New & Existing Home – Exterior
The roof (where safe and appropriate), roof runoff controls and landscape drainage are inspected and necessary improvements
are recommended. Stoops, steps, walks and drives are checked for voids, surface problems and safety hazards. Due to recent
storm damages caused by hurricane Ike, many Houston homes have suffered roof and exterior siding damage from high winds
and flying debris.

How to get the most from your home inspection?
Tips to help us perform the most through inspection to allow you the most benefit from your inspection.
1. If the home is occupied, please inform your Realtor and the seller as to what time we will be at the home. Please plan on
spending a minimum of 3 hours (depending on size of the property) during you Houston home inspection services.
2. If you do not have access to the home, please arrange for the owner, seller or Realtor to meet us to provide access.
3. All utilities should be turned on. This includes gas, water, and electric. If one of these systems is off, we cannot check the
system and all related equipment. The inspector does not turn on or off main breakers, water or gas shut off values.
4. Pets should be restricted to a kennel or one small area. It is often good to give them a “Pets day out” during the inspection.
Leashed animals can sometimes prevent us from inspecting certain areas. Loose animals can escape through access doors or
windows.
5. On homes with zero lot lines, a signed permission slip from the neighbor will be needed so we gain access and inspect you
adjoining property.
6. If the home has an attic access door, it should be able to be opened. Stored items in the attic should not be in a manner that
they hinder or limit access to all areas of the attic, especially around the mechanical equipment and roof edges.
7. Main electrical service panels should be unobstructed.
8. Any decorative items on the hearth of the fireplace should be removed.
9. We will be unable to inspect any areas blocked or covered by storage items, decorations, or personal items.
10. All doors should be unlocked or keys for those doors made available to us during the inspection, we will be unable to inspect
areas behind locked doors.
11. With preexisting homes, please bring a copy of the disclosure statement. It is helpful to know how long sellers have lived at
the home. If they had an inspection within the last 4 years, it is often disclosed on line 6 of the disclosure statement. Ask for a
copy of the report.
12. Please ask for all invoices, home warranties and related paperwork on repairs that have been performed on the home.
Please provide this information during the inspection.
