www.FindAzProperties.com - What Your Home Inspection Should Cover

 

 

  • Siding: Look for dents or buckling.

 

  • Foundations: Look for cracks or water seepage.

 

  • Exterior Brick: Look for cracked bricks or mortar pulling away from bricks.

 

  • Insulation: Look for condition and adequate rating for climate (the higher the R value, the more effective the insulation is).

 

  • Doors and Windows: Look for loose or tight fits, condition of locks, and condition of weather stripping.

 

  • Roof: Look for age, conditions of flashing, pooling water, buckled shingles, or loose gutters and downspouts.

 

  • Ceilings, Walls, and Moldings: Look for loose pieces and dry wall that is pulling away.

 

  • Porch/Deck: Look for loose railings or steps, rot, etc.

 

  • Electrical: Look for condition of fuse box/circuit breakers and number of outlets in each room.

 

  • Plumbing: Look for poor water pressure, banging pipes, rust spots or corrosion that indicate leaks, and sufficient insulation.

 

  • Water Heater: Look for age, adequate size for house, speed of recovery, and energy rating.

 

  • Furnace/Air Conditioning: Look for age and energy rating. Furnaces are rated by annual fuel utilization efficiency; the higher the rating, the lower your fuel costs. If possible, also look for other factors like the payback period and other operating costs, such as electricity to operate motors.

 

  • Garage: Look for exterior in good repair; condition of floor, cracks, stains, etc., and condition of door mechanism.

 

  • Basement: Look for water leakage and musty smell.

 

  • Attic: Look for adequate ventilation and water leaks from roof.

 

  • Septic Tanks (if applicable): Adequate absorption field capacity for the percolation rate in your area and the size of your family.

 

  • Driveways/Sidewalks: Look for cracks, heaving pavement, crumbling near edges, and stains.
