Complete Home Inspections
The primary service I offer is General Home Inspection. You can find all the details about what is inspected by visiting the What's Inspected and Home pages.
4-Point Insurance Inspections
If your home is 30 years old or older a special 4-point inspection is now required by most insurance companies. They want to see specific information regarding your roof, electrical, plumbing and air conditioning systems. This service can be provided as a standalone service or as an attachment to the regular home inspection.
Public And Well Water Testing
Water quality is important to the health of you and your family. Many families have opted to have filtering systems installed in their homes in the last decade. These systems work well but like all mechanical systems, they have to be properly maintained. A water quality test will determine the safety of your water whether it is filtered or not. If the property's water supply is from a well, it is imperative that you have a water quality test prior to purchasing. The expense of drilling a new well can easily run into thousands of dollars. So don't take the need for this test lightly. Read more about water quality here.
Mold Inspections and Sampling
Anywhere there is moisture, even inside a wall, there is potential mold growth. Mold is known to cause problems for those with Asthma and other respiratory ailments. I can identify all areas that have existing mold growth and also point out areas that need to be monitored regularly. Mold is not always readily visible, yet can still cause the associated health problems by infiltrating the air handling system in the home. If you're considering purchasing a home, and notice any stale or musty odors in the house while touring it, it is highly recommended that you have a mold inspection before purchasing. There is much to know about mold. Read more about how it affect your health and well being here.
Termite Clearance Letters
Termites are a year round problem in Florida and having good termite inspection is critical to keeping your home safe from damage. It is important that the termite inspector that you choose is state certified and will provide a one-year warranty for the services that they provide. Around the Town Inspections is affiliated with three termite inspection companies which meet these qualifications and I can arrange for the termite and home inspection to coincide on the same day if you so desire.
Pool and Spa Inspections
Swimming pools and spas are a high maintenance luxury. If they aren't properly maintained over the years, they will present problems that can be quite expensive to correct. When a pool or spa exists on a property, it is a very wise decision to have it thoroughly inspected. Because of the expense of repair, this service more than pays for itself should there be problems with the equipment or structure of the pool or spa. |
