Residential Inspection Services
Pre-Purchase, Pre-Listing Single and Multi-Family Properties
Walker Home Inspection will conduct an extensive, non-destructive review of all house and property systems. All accessible spaces are inspected, from walking on the roof, to crawling in the attic and getting into the crawl space. All structural components as well as foundational stability is closely inspected and reported, including windows, doors, walls and floors. Major internal systems including electrical systems, panels and sub-panels, wiring and fixtures, heating and cooling systems and plumbing are tested and examined. Exterior landscaping is even reviewed to ensure water runoff is correct and awareness of potential concerns with the surrounding grounds are noted. Minor flaws, opportunities for improvements and items that require normal maintenance is included for your awareness.
When the property is a multi-family property such as a duplex, triplex or even apartment building, each home is individually reported so you know exactly where any deficiencies can be found. Estimate your inspection and book it now using our online tool.
Pre-Listing
Sellers can identify and address issues beforehand, prioritizing repairs, building trust with potential buyers, maximizing marketability and reducing the likelihood of surprises that may arising during the buyer’s inspection.
Pre-Purchase
A comprehensive assessment of the property’s condition, identifying potential issues and ensuring transparency in the real estate transaction. An essential step that offers peace of mind to the purchaser.
Post-Purchase
If you’ve already purchased your home but did not have the opportunity for a quality home inspection, now is a good time. Maintenance and repairs are usually much less costly when discovered before things go wrong.
