We follow an extensive home inspection checklist to make sure the home you’re considering is in good working order.
When buying a property in the Gilmer, Texas area, a thorough home inspection is essential to guarantee your investment is solid and free of hidden issues. Our team at Rocking T Home Inspections can assist with this task, giving you peace of mind that the home you choose is in the best condition.
Some of the things on our home inspection checklist include the following:
- Exterior Elements: We assess the home’s exterior, which includes the foundation, siding, and roof. For the foundation, we check for cracks, signs of water damage, and deteriorating materials, while our roof inspections involve examining shingles, gutters, flashing, and chimneys to verify they are in good shape and leak-free. During this process, we also look at the windows and doors to ensure they have appropriate sealant and operate as they should.
- Interior Features: Inside, the home inspection checklist focuses on the walls, ceilings, and floors. During the inspection we look for cracks, stains, and other evidence of structural problems or water leaks. Additionally, insulation levels may be measured.
- Plumbing Systems: We’re able to analyze visible plumbing systems such as pipes, faucets, and water heaters to assess for leaks, adequate water pressure, and good drainage. The condition of equipment such as the water heater may also be evaluated.
- Electrical Systems: The home inspection checklist also includes evaluating the electrical panel, circuit breakers, outlets, and lighting fixtures. In doing so, we ensure the system is compliant, correctly grounded, and does not pose a fire threat.
- HVAC Systems: We check to make sure the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems are functional and in good working order.
- Attic and Basement: The attic and basement are also checked during the inspection, assessing for insulation, ventilation, water damage, and evidence of pest infestation.
