Home Inspections
During the course of your home buying or selling journey, it is crucial to gain a comprehensive understanding of the property's condition. We facilitate this understanding by conducting a thorough inspection of the property's major systems and components. It's a good idea for you to get a professional home inspection, and that's where we come in. Recognizing that every home is unique in size, age, and style, we approach each inspection as if it were our own home, using the best tools and relying on years of experience.
Commercial Inspections
Our inspection expertise extends across various property types, including offices, retail/strip centers, industrial buildings, warehouses, schools, and multi-unit structures, among others. Our seasoned professionals understand the nuances of working in diverse environments and ensure a smooth inspection process with minimal impact on day-to-day operations. We have obtained certification through Carson Dunlop Commercial Training, demonstrating our commitment to maintaining high standards and expertise in commercial property inspections.
Multi-Family Complexes
A multi-unit residential property inspection caters to diverse clientele, including mortgage lenders, investors, condominium associations, and property managers, spanning various real estate transactions or as part of routine maintenance and repair initiatives. Unlike many commercial properties, multi-dwelling units endure constant usage as long as they are occupied or within the operating hours of communal spaces, leading to wear and tear from occupants and visitors. Irrespective of the client's purpose for the inspection, evaluating the physical condition of the property by a seasoned commercial inspection professional is crucial, both financially and for ensuring safety.
New Construction
Embarking on the journey of building a new home is an exciting venture, and at Elevate Inspections, we ensure that your investment is in capable hands. We offer a rigorous inspection throughout the construction process to maintain the highest quality standards. This helps identify potential issues before they become major concerns, saving you time and resources. We provide a comprehensive report to give you confidence in the structural integrity and safety of your new property.
Pre-Drywall Inspection
A pre-drywall inspection is a crucial step during the construction or renovation of a property. It occurs after the framing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) rough-ins but before the installation of drywall. The goal is to assess the hidden structural, electrical, and plumbing components to ensure they meet building codes and standards.
Pre-Listing Inspection
Pre-listing inspections, also known as seller's inspections or pre-sale inspections, are a proactive approach taken by homeowners before listing their property for sale. The primary purpose of a pre-listing inspection is to provide sellers with a comprehensive understanding of their property's condition before it goes on the market. By identifying and addressing potential issues in advance, sellers can enhance their property's appeal and streamline the selling process.
Insurance Verification
Ensure the protection of your most valuable asset with Elevate Inspections. Our specialized home inspections for insurance verification purposes go beyond the surface, primarily focusing on condition and age of 4 major areas of your property: Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC & Roof. By providing detailed and accurate information, we empower homeowners to meet insurance requirements and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with comprehensive coverage.
ADU Consulting
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), also known as garage conversion, in-law suites, or secondary units, are becoming increasingly popular as versatile and sustainable housing solutions. ADU planning involves careful consideration of legal, design, and construction aspects to create a functional and compliant additional dwelling on a property.
Ancillary Services
An ancillary inspection focuses on specific elements of a property to offer a comprehensive assessment of its condition. Through this type of inspection, the inspector can identify and report any required repairs or replacements necessary for the property.
Termite Inspection
We partner with the best, local affiliates that offer a complimentary (FREE!) inspection. We coordinate their availability to align within the home inspection appointment time. Our experienced structural pest inspectors perform thorough inspections of all readily accessible areas of the property. These areas include the interiors, exteriors, attics, basements and under floor areas.
Sewer Line Inspections
A skilled inspector utilizes a flexible borescope camera to visually inspect and record video footage of your pipes. The camera is threaded through the main drainpipe of your home, navigating through sewer lines to identify visible cracks, damages, or clogs. Any structural issues or potential health risks stemming from your sewers will be reported by the inspector. The duration of a drain inspection varies, typically ranging from a few minutes to half an hour. The timeframe depends on the size of your home's sewer system and the nature of the identified issues. Considering a plumbing scope inspection is advisable before purchasing your dream home.
Thermal Enhancement
Utilizing a thermal imaging camera during the home inspection helps to identify potential moisture leaks in high water-use areas while also helping identify overloaded electrical systems. Operating within the infrared spectrum, the thermal imaging camera distinguishes warm and cold heat signatures. Lighter colors indicate hotter areas, while darker colors indicate cooler regions. The thermal imaging camera leverages these signatures to pinpoint potential water leaks.
Pool & Spa Inspections
When in the process of buying or selling a home, it is crucial to include a residential pool and/or spa inspection to guarantee the safety and durability of the pool and its components. Pools and spas entail significant maintenance and repair costs and pose various safety considerations. The inspection encompasses the assessment of pumps, pump motors, accessible piping systems, filtration systems, skimmers, and drains. Additionally, the inspection covers examinations of pool/spa electrical panels, disconnects, switches, outlets, lighting, and the operation of GFCI test buttons.
Drone
Drone roof inspections have emerged as a innovative and efficient method for assessing the condition of roofs on residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Utilizing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with cameras and sensors, these inspections offer a unique perspective that enhances the speed, safety, and accuracy of the evaluation process. The drone captures high-quality images and videos of the roof from various angles, providing a comprehensive view of its condition.
Mold Swabbing & Indoor Air Quality Testing
Air quality testing involves the examination of mold spores and allergens present in the air. Our specialists collect samples both inside and outside the home, sending them to a lab for analysis. The exterior sample serves as a control. Elevated spore levels compared to the control may indicate a potential mold or moisture problem within the property.
Sprinklers
Our inspection includes a thorough examination of sprinkler panels, valves, and zones. This inspection is essential for maintaining the health of the landscaping, conserving water, and ensuring the proper functioning of the sprinkler system. Ensuring the functionality of all zones and examining sprinkler spray patterns is vital for the overall efficiency of the landscape system. Our inspectors also identify any broken or damaged sprinkler heads and valves.
