The day of your inspection
We Inspect:
A home inspection is a systematic assessment of a property by a state-licensed professional. According to the Washington State Legislature, "The purpose of a home inspection is to assess the condition of the residence at the time of the inspection using visual observations, simple tools, and normal homeowner operational controls; and to report deficiencies of specific systems and components."
During each home inspection we look at 11 main categories:
-
Structure
-
Site, Exterior, and Enclosure
-
Roofs
-
Plumbing System
-
Electrical System
-
Heating System
-
Air Conditioning System
-
Interiors
-
Insulation and Ventilation
-
Fireplaces
-
Attached Garages or Carports
We adhere to Standards of Practice outlined Here.
As well as Chapter 308-408C of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC).
A typical home inspection takes approximately 2.0 to 3.0 hours to complete. However, the time required for each inspection is contingent upon the specific characteristics of the home and may vary, potentially taking more time depending on the unique features of each property.
We Review:
After each inspection, we will review the findings together, addressing each point individually. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of the property immediately following the inspection.
Should there be any specific information you wish to inquire about, we will provide the most accurate assessment for each area and strive to assist you in comprehending our findings.
In the event that an in-person meeting is not feasible, whether due to health concerns or a hectic schedule, we can conduct our review over the phone, through Zoom, or on a similar platform.
We Deliver:
Note:
This sample report represents an example of how items are organized as well as the look and feel of our reports. It is not meant as a comprehensive makeup of what a report can include.
With each inspection, you will receive a report that becomes your property, allowing you to refer to it repeatedly.
The summary at the commencement of each report will emphasize the areas requiring the most attention. Following the summary, there will be a comprehensive breakdown of your home, system by system. The report is enriched with high-definition, full-color images.
Each report is a fully interactive PDF featuring functional tabs and illustrations. Additionally, it contains links to resources such as documents explaining a home's systems, life cycles, costs, and topics that extend beyond the standard scope of a home inspection, such as Asbestos or Radon.
With Puget Home Inspection, we strive for clear and focused communication. We'll respond as soon as we can to any questions you may have before, during, and after each inspection. Furthermore, we work to maintain an unbiased professional assessment of each home we inspect.
We are focused on having an dynamic understanding of the ever-evolving science of home structures and the technology that goes into creating, renovating, and repairing them. We may not have the answers to all of our questions at the time of the inspection, but we'll work to find them.
We're committed to providing each inspection with the latest tools designed to detect deficiencies. From high-tech moisture meters to the latest in thermal imaging, we will use everything in our tool belt to see what is happening with each home.
