What is a home inspection?

A home inspection assesses a property's condition and identifies potential issues. The resulting inspection report outlines findings, recommendations, and necessary repairs in a straightforward manner. Lucky U Property Inspections provides easy-to-understand reports to help homebuyers make informed decisions. While these inspections are general visual assessments and not exhaustive, they offer valuable insights into the property's current state. For instance, drones can be used to examine the roof for rust, missing or damaged shingles, while thermal imaging can uncover moisture intrusion that may indicate leaks. This information will better equip buyers for their journey. Learn how to prepare for your home inspection here.

The Big Five

Roofing

The report should cover the property's structure, including the roof, foundation, walls, and floors. It should identify any visible defects, such as cracks, leaks, or damages.

Plumbing

The inspector should evaluate the home's plumbing system. They should assess the water pressure, water heater, sewer lines, and fixtures. The report should highlight any leaks, damages, or concerns with the plumbing system.

Foundation
Electrical

We go into the crawl space so you don't have to! We inspect the foundation for any cracks or defects to ensure you're on solid ground. Literally.

Unforeseen repairs aren't the only shocker. Dropped your blow dryer in the sink? We test to ensure that GFCI outlets are installed and working correctly in the home.

HVAC

HVAC systems are crucial for homes. An inspector should assess the system's efficiency, including the furnace, air conditioner, and ductwork, noting any needed repairs. The national average cost for an HVAC system, including installation, ranges from $5,000 to $9,000.

Additional Services

In addition to home inspections, we also offer additional services such as radon testing, pest-control inspections, and pre-listing inspections. Our goal is to provide comprehensive inspection solutions to meet our clients' needs.
