| TYPES OF INSPECTIONS |
Buyers Pre-Purchase Inspection
This is the most typical type of inspection that is performed. When
you sign a contract to purchase a home there is often a ten (10) day
home inspection contingency clause whereby the buyer has the
opportunity to have a professional home inspection.
This is a complete and objective inspection of the entire house and
its components and is done on behalf of, and paid for by the buyer.
The inspection is subject to limitations as outlined in the
"Standards of Practice" required by the state of Arkansas. The
purpose of this inspection is not to point out cosmetic issues, but to
look for items that may be a concern to the buyer. To this end it is
not inclusive, but does point out issues that can be visually
observed and point out issues that may need further evaluation by a
professional.
Sellers Pre-Listing (Disclosure) Inspection
This inspection provides the seller with a marketing advantage over
a home not pre-inspected. It gives you the opportunity to discover
and fix items before they are discovered by the buyer in his/her
pre-purchase inspection.
In a buyer's market it gives you that edge in getting your home sold.
No tense negotiations over defects, no lost sale/lost time because
of a major defect you didn't know about, and, if your home
inspection report is pretty "clean" you have the confidence that a
buyer's home inspection will not "kill the deal".
Owners Warranty/Anniversary Inspection
You moved into a newly built home ten (10) months ago. At that
time you were probably given a minimum twelve (12) month
warranty on your home whether the builder told you or not.
Before this twelve (12) months are up, you need to advise the
builder of any defects, repairs needed, faulty equipment, etc., in
order to get them fixed without additional expense to you. Are the
appliances all working properly, are windows operative and free
from moisture intrusion? Are there any early signs of leaking
around flashings and roof penetrations, etc?
A home inspection now, can save you thousands in repairs later
on. Our report allows you to provide the builder a "punch list" of
issues and concerns he needs to take care of for you.

| Mold & Moisture Assessments/Testing/Consultation Hidden water intrusion has the potential to wreck havoc on your home. It is probably the single biggest pay-out by home insurance companies, and one that many of them are now looking for ways to exclude in their policies. It is one of the major reasons builders are called back to repair damage during the home warranty period. Water damage can come from several sources: floods, burst pipes, leaky roofs, seepage, etc. Many types are obvious, as is the damage caused by them. Even if you can’t see the damage right away, a slow flow of water can often be worse than obvious leaks. Left untreated, it can cause: • Pipe corrosion • Foundation damage • Foul odors • Mold How can you protect yourself from this menace? A professional mold and moisture inspection can help. Using advanced moisture detection devices, coupled with years of experience, we can often detect water damage and make written recommendations to properly remediate damaged building materials. Air and surface samples are often collected to determine what recommendations to make and to determine to what extent the inhabitants might be exposed to airborne fungal spores. Give the Gift That Will Last A Life Time (or at least as long as they own the home!) You may also give a home inspection or a consultation as a gift to your friend, or children, or even your elderly parents. Being a discretionary expense, some people forego a home inspection so this makes for a fantastic gift idea—something they might not ordinarily get for themselves but really do need. The recipients are incredibly grateful and with A-Z Home Inspection services they can benefit for as long as they own that home. |
