What Do Home Inspectors Look At?

Scheidt is a highly experienced, certified, and insured inspector that works with homeowners to provide an accurate assessment of a property's condition. To accomplish that, we have a list of things we observe. The American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) outlines a list of things home inspectors will observe during an evaluation, including:

• Foundation: The home's foundation must be structurally sound and free of wear in order for a home to be considered safe. Cracks or water damage will all need to be remedied before a home is safe to sell.
• Roof: The roof is a home's primary defense from outdoor elements. It's a major selling point and also the most important safety feature in a home.
• HVAC system: HVAC systems are what's responsible for keeping a home comfortable year-round. Adequate heating and air, as well as proper air filtration, is important for both comfort and safety. Water heaters will also be inspected.
• Plumbing: A major safety and sanitation feature for any property is a functioning plumbing system. Clogs, slow drains, or malfunctioning systems are detrimental for safety.
• Electrical systems: Electrical systems are a major component of any home. Scheidt inspectors will inspect the electrical panels as well as the wiring throughout the home. Outdated or faulty electrical systems are a major fire hazard and will need to be repaired and re-inspected before a home is safe to sell.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 home's insulation. Scheidt will inspect insulation as part of the evaluation process
• Walls and ceilings: Walls and ceilings are notorious for looking clean on the surfaces while hiding major safety issues. An experienced Scheidt 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 a home ages, and their condition can help indicate the condition of the entire home.
• Windows: While a key component of the aesthetic, windows also have 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 are 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.

Benefits of Home Inspection Services

• Warning Signs: The inspections process can uncover signs of wear, deterioration, or damage that could be detrimental to the home's overall health
• Savings: If an issue is uncovered before a purchase, inspections can save a buyer money by making sure the seller takes care of it as a condition for a purchase
• Sellers can pass home inspections: Homes must pass legal requirements before going on the market. Inspection reports give the seller an opportunity to fix their home up before its presented to potential buyers
• Bargaining power (for both buyers and sellers): If a seller can show proof of a safety-rated home by a Scheidt inspector, they may have more leverage over a deal. Buyers can also use inspections to lower the asking price if an issue is uncovered
• Buyer confidence: A detailed inspection report may help a home buyer feel more confident, therefore increasing the likelihood of a sale
• Helps with planning ahead: Inspections performed by Scheidt will provide enough details to allow a homeowner to plan ahead and know when to expect future maintenance needs
