PREPARING FOR YOUR HOME INSPECTION

BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY

Most buyers only book a standard home inspection, but we strongly recommend a 48 hour Radon test.

Knowing your home's Radon level equips you to combat an invisible danger.

Ignoring Radon can lead to severe health risks, including an increased likelihood of lung cancer.

Awareness of Radon levels is paramount for ensuring a healthier and safer living environment.

Ignoring Radon won't make it disappear, it silently infiltrates your home.

Neglecting Radon won't shield you from its potential life-threatening consequences.

And it will save $100 of your budget !

Know what the most common home inspection findings are so you’re not surprised when your home has a loose toilet or smoke alarms missing.

Remember that a home inspection is a visual, non-comprehensive evaluation of the home. It won’t catch everything and you may need to hire specialists for further evaluation of major systems like HVAC, electrical or plumbing.

Home inspections are also not pass/fail or code inspections.

Ask your inspector the best way for you to ask questions. Some don’t mind you following along and asking throughout the inspection. Some prefer you write them down and wait until the end.

(Some inspectors will instruct you to show up for the final walk-through and summary)

Refrain from bringing extended family or friends to the inspection. This takes the inspector’s focus away from doing their best job if they are getting questions from all angles.

Also remember that you still don’t technically own the home. This means that you or the inspector shouldn’t be moving furniture, touching personal belongings or otherwise doing things you wouldn’t want a stranger doing in your home.

See you soon...
