Irvine Home Inspection Expectations

 

A home inspector does just that - they inspect homes. They perform a thorough inspection of the entirety of your home while focusing on hot spots that might be most concerning to buyers, then report them to both the buyer and the seller for reference. Mold and mildew are one of the biggest issues that can drive buyers away, so home inspectors really focus on locating any kind of mold before it greatly impacts the offer on the home. They also check for leaks, monitor the home’s water pressure, and address the health of the septic system. Every electrical system in the home will be inspected as well to ensure that they are up to current codes and are functioning correctly. At Sea to Sky Inspections, we will focus on these main problem areas before moving on to inspect the rest of the home. We assure you that we will locate any and all issues so that they can be reported and addressed as quickly as possible. We will make sure that the home you are aiming to sell or buy in Irvine is up to par before any life-changing real estate decisions are made.

With Sea to Sky Inspections, a home inspection in Irvine will usually take between 2.5 to 3.5 hours to ensure that we have enough time to check every area in the home. After inspecting the areas listed above, our inspectors will also look at things like the home’s foundation, gas appliances, and every electrical panel. No stone will be left unturned when you hire Sea to Sky Inspections - we inspect it all so you know what to expect when selling or buying. As the inspector makes their way through the home, they will point out every deficiency that they find so that you can see, in real time, exactly what it is that they see. We use the latest in inspection technology including thermal imaging cameras and moisture detectors to locate issues like moisture intrusion problems, overheating in the electrical systems, any missing insulation, and much more. Our primary inspections include sewer, mold, termite, and pest, which we use to locate issues that could potentially hinder the finalization of the real estate process.

When we conduct our sewer inspections, we look for any signs that pipes have been infiltrated by anything that might cause cracks, leaks, and failing joints. Pooling water, cracks, and bows are warning signs that something is affecting your sewer line’s drainage and needs to be addressed as soon as possible. During our mold inspections, we conduct moisture testing to locate any mold that may be hiding behind paint or under any floorboards. If there are signs of mold, we take samples and test them to discover what type of mold we are dealing with in order to come up with the best solution to get rid of it. Our termite inspections are for those selling or refinancing a home to prove that the home is termite free. Should we encounter any termites, we will treat and repair the problem thanks to our in-house carpenters and treatment specialists, then provide clearances once the problem is fully taken care of. Lastly, we do pest control and aim to rid the home of any rats or mice that may have made their way in. We will locate the point of entry for the rodents then develop a treatment plan that will not only get rid of them, but keep them from coming back. We will also work to remove any mess and damage that they leave behind. We perform a number of inspections for our Irvine customers so you only have to visit one company before moving forward with buying or selling a home.

The Importance of a Home Inspection in Irvine

Home inspections are important for a number of reasons. Not only are they important so you know what sort of issues a home may have, but they are also important for making life-changing real estate decisions. For sellers, the home inspection report provides a list of deficiencies found in the home that you will need to address in order to get the home in selling shape. You need to make the decision to either fix all the deficiencies to ensure you receive your asking price, or be alright with asking for a lower price should you think the issues are minor and can be taken care of by the buyer. As a buyer, the home inspection report provides a list of issues found within the home, which can influence your decision to buy. Should you think the issues are easy to resolve or if the seller resolves them before you close, great, but if the seller decides not to fix the issues and they are somewhat severe, you need to decide if you want to negotiate for a lower asking price or if you would just rather move on and start looking for something else. The report produced by a home inspection in Irvine can either make or break a decision regarding the selling or purchasing of a home. Your inspection report is also beneficial after you close on a home. It will tell you which of your systems are most vulnerable so you can get them the protection they need to prevent any damages in the future. An adequate home inspection is vital to selling any Irvine property or securing that Irvine home you have been waiting to buy.
