1.   Examining the grading of the property: 
                                    
          Check to make sure there is at least a 1 inch for every 1 foot sloping away from the exterior walls for the first 6 feet. If the finish grade slopes toward the property, this could cause foundation damage.      

 2.   The Foundation and Exterior walls:
          
          In this part of the inspection we are looking for excessive cracking in the walls, ceilings, and floors. Cracks that are larger at the bottom than at the top can pose serious foundation and structural issues. The framework of the roof is also looked at to determine if leaks have occurred.  These leaks can cause damage to the plywood or the trusses.

 3.   Windows and doors:
         
          Accessible windows are operated and checked for moisture infiltration, cracks, and deteriorating glazing. All doors are operated and checked for wood rot and functionality.

 4.   Electrical:

          The main electrical panel is checked for proper grounding and the size of the breakers accompanied with the wire size. All accessible outlets are checked and the main service entrance cable, mast, and meter box are examined.

5.    Appliances:

          The appliances current condition and functionality is checked

6.    Heating and Air Conditioning system (HVAC)

          The location, age, and expected life remaining of the condensing unit and the air handler is determined. The duct work is examined for noticeable leaks and the unit is checked for efficiency for the size of the home.

7.    The Roof

          Asper inspections determines the age and life expectancy of the roof covering. The condition of the roof can be determined by walking on it, unless the conditions are deemed unsafe or if stepping on the covering may cause damage. The roof is additionally inspected from the attic during the structural check. The soffit and fascia are inspected and are examined for any water stains or damage.

8.    Plumbing

          The type of supply lines and waste lines are provided, as well as the estimated age, condition, and life expectancy. All toilets, faucets, sinks, showers, and tubs are inspected as well. All cabinetry, housing water supply and drainage lines are inspected for leaks. We also check the make, age and size of the hot water heater, allowing us to determine the life expectancy of that unit. We do not inspect septic tanks or underground plumbing lines. 

9.    The sprinkler system  

          The sprinkler system is turned on manually and checked to make sure the sprinkler heads function and sufficient ground cover is viewed. Extensive checks of the timers is not performed.
