SPOTTING RED FLAGS
The Analytical Approach
A property is a complex machine comprising structural, electrical, and plumbing systems. Emotion has no place in a home inspection. View the asset entirely through the lens of risk mitigation, deferred maintenance, and replacement costs.
Primary Inspection Vectors
Foundation & Structure
Scan for horizontal cracking, uneven floors, and moisture intrusion in basements. Structural remediation is highly capital-intensive.
Roofing Integrity
Determine the age of the materials, presence of granular loss, and flashing integrity around chimneys and vents.
Plumbing & Electrical
Identify outdated panels, aluminum wiring, galvanized pipes, and ensure adequate pressure across all terminal points.
