What Do Home Inspectors Look At?


A to Z is a licensed, insured, and highly trained inspector who works to provide an accurate assessment of a property's condition. To accomplish that, we have a list of things we observe. We need to be on the lookout for any potential hazards, especially before someone buys a home. The International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) outlines a home inspection checklist to observe during an evaluation, including:

Foundation

The foundation must be structurally sound and free of wear for a home to be considered safe. Most issues could make the property an immediate risk and could deem it uninhabitable. Cracks or water damage will all need to be remedied before a home is safe to sell.

Roof

The roof is your primary defense from outdoor elements. It's a major selling point and also the most important safety feature. Its condition could also be a major indicator of how well or how poorly the home has aged over time. If the roof is damaged, odds are other materials and systems may be damaged as well.

HVAC System

HVAC systems are responsible for keeping a home comfortable year-round. Adequate heating and air, as well as proper air filtration, are important for both comfort and safety. Our Kane County inspectors will ensure the unit is properly maintained and running as intended.

Plumbing

A major safety and sanitation feature for any property is a functioning plumbing system. Clogs, slow drains, or malfunctioning systems could immediately compromise safety. Major issues could be a major health hazard, and our Dekalb County specialists will provide detailed reports on any findings.

Electrical Systems

Electrical systems are a major component of any home. A to Z inspectors will assess the electrical panels as well as the system's wiring. Outdated or faulty electrical systems are a major fire hazard and will need to be repaired and re-inspected before a home is safe to sell.

Attic/Insulation

When buying a house, many buyers will want to know the condition of the insulation. Insulation is important energy efficiency and protective feature. Our experts in Cook County will make sure the insulation is installed correctly and in good condition.

Walls and Ceilings

Walls and ceilings are notorious for looking clean on the surfaces while hiding major safety issues. Behind the walls and ceilings could be a major hazard, such as mold, rot, nests, and more. An experienced A to Z inspector will have the trained eye to make note of any hidden concerns.

Floors

Floors are a major indicator of a home's health. They see a lot of use and abuse as they age, and their condition can help indicate the condition of the entire home. With A to Z, we will make sure your floors are installed properly and aging as they should. We will also check for any damage and make recommendations based on any issues we find.

Windows

Windows is known for being an important aesthetic feature but also has an important insulation function. Most modern windows are filled with argon gas to help aid in insulation. As they age, windows will need to be inspected for their structural condition, but also their argon levels.

Doors

One of the most important aspects of any home purchase is the doors. All exterior doors need to have an airtight and watertight seal to keep the outdoor elements from getting in. They also need to have strong frames and good locks as a safety measure against intruders.

"Used Jason again! Did a fantastic job just as the first time. The first house fell through but both times now the inspections helped me save money and gave me great detail in the issues that he found."

"Jason was very responsive to my original request. He inspected our home prior to purchase, gave a very extensive report. There were very few problems with our home, we kind of knew that going in, but Jason confirmed it. His pricing was also extremely reasonable compared to others. Several months later, after we had moved in, we had problems starting up the gas fireplace. We reached out and he responded ASAP, even going through the trouble of coming out to us and showing us how to do it. You can't get this kind of personalized service from the larger companies that charge so much more. So glad we utilized his services. Thanks Jason!"
