How Important is a Home Inspection?

A qualified and complete evaluation of the exterior and interior of a house from a Ralph's Home Inspection Service inspector provides a very clear picture of the working status of all electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling systems within the home. Our certified home inspections provide valuable information regarding possible damage, structural defects and potential problem areas that sellers or buyers can bring to the negotiation table.

Signs That you may Need a Residential Inspection

Ralph's Home Inspection Service recommends undergoing an inspection whenever purchasing or selling a property, even if it is relatively new or renovated. Here are a few signs to look out for that usually indicate a more in-depth inspection is needed.

Are your doors and windows on the top floor? – it is always a good idea to check the doors and windows on the top floor of a structure to see if they open and close properly and easily. This will allow us to see if there is a problem with the foundation. Ralph's Home Inspection Service will be able to assess foundation issues like unevenness and slight sinking or crookedness to one side. Usually those type of issues cause the windows and doors to shift because any type of change in the foundation will result in lopsidedness.

Does your basement smell funny? – If your basement has a musty, mildew scent and feels damp and humid, then further investigations should be carried out. An odd smell could indicate that there is a moisture problem in the basement which is often the result of foundation problems and mold.
