Remember, a home inspection is not a pass/fail examination. Our Dallas, TX home inspectors want you to know what’s inspected during a home inspection. Below are the elements that we take a look at:

1. Foundation – Foundation Materials, Flooring, Supporting Members, Stairways, Water Penetration, Area Ventilation & Drainage. Our licensed home inspector will also look for cracks, shifts and water leaks or accumulation.
2. Basement – termite infestation is pretty common in this area and is also the least maintained part of the house. A water leak that leads to mold growth is also one of the main problems in this area.
3. Interior – Ceilings, Walls, Floors, Closets, Electrical Outlets, Windows, Kitchen Cabinets, Counters & Exhaust and other parts inside the house.
4. Exterior – Foundation, Roof, Flashing, Chimney, Downspouts, Gutters, Siding, Trim, Windows, Doors, Stairs, Decks & Patios, Grading, Drainage
5. Plumbing System – Bath & Kitchen Fixtures, Vents, Water Flow & Shutoff Valves. Our home inspector will check for proper installation of plumbing systems. This includes the hot and cold, water pressure, sinks, toilets and other items that require the use of water.
6. Electrical Systems – Service Entry, Type, Rating of Overload Protection, Grounding, Bonding, Distribution Panel, Circuits, Outlets, Fixtures, Conductor Materials & Branch Systems. Faulty electrical wirings and poor installation might pose a safety risk. Our home inspectors are sure to find that.
7. Walkways and Driveways – The quality of walkways and proper grading of drainage can create a huge impact on the property.
8. Garage or Carport – Overhead Doors, Safety Controls & Fire Protection Materials
9. Heating and Ventilation – Equipment, Energy Source, Zones, Safety Controls, Ductwork/ Piping

A home inspection may not be mandatory and can be an additional expense on top of mortgage fees, closing costs and other real-estate related expenses. But, the advantages of having one is far more than the cost it would take today.
