Bulldog Home Inspections

A complete home inspection is a professional visual observation, done by a licensed inspector, to assess the physical structure and systems that are accessible. A professional, easy to read, report will be completed after the inspection is complete. I would encourage you to accompany me during the inspection so you may become familiar with the different systems and provides me the opportunity to explain my findings in person.

A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a home, from the roof to the foundation. Having a home inspected is like giving it a physical check-up. If problems or symptoms are found, the inspector may recommend further evaluation.

The standard home inspector's report will review the condition of: the heating system, the electrical system, the cooling system, the interior plumbing, the roof surface, attic, insulation, walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, appliances, foundation, basement, exterior, drainage and structure.The purchase of a home is probably the largest single investment you will ever make.

Preventative maintenance is the best way to keep your house in great shape, reduce the risk of unexpected repairs and improve the odds of selling your home at the best possible price, when that time should come. In addition, regular maintenance of your home's systems and appliances will increase their efficiency and lower operating costs, as well as ensure longer equipment life.

Keep firewood piles off the ground and don't allow any ground contact. Inspect firewood to ensure that termites have not constructed exploratory mud tubes and found your firewood. Do not bury any wooden material on the property. If possible, replace any construction wood that contacts the soil (deck and fence posts, etc.) with materials that are non-cellulose or pressure treated.
