THE FOLLOWING ARE NATIONALLY ACCEPTED STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR HOME INSPECTIONS STRUCTURAL INSPECTION

ONE - GROUNDS - A North Carolina home inspection will include an inspection of the grounds. The home inspector will first make a visible inspection of the grounds around the house to see if the natural rain water is draining away from the house or towards the house. Rain water that drains towards the house could undermine the structure, damage the foundation and allow water to penetrate the basement.

(See more structural home inspections standards and guidelines below.)
 

A CERTIFIED PLUS HOME INSPECTION INCLUDES:


 

PRICES - START AT $199 - The price is set according to the size of the house. Call for exact prices for your North Carolina real estate home inspection.

REPORT - ON SITE SUMMARY REPORT - At the end of the home inspection, you will receive a summary report of the repairs. You are now ready to negotiate any repairs right after the inspection.

MONEY BACK GUARANTEE - Our home inspectors are professionals. We are one of the few companies that offer a money back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with our home inspection, we will gladly refund your money.
 

APPLIANCES - All appliances that are purchased with the house will be tested at no extra charge. Appliances such as the dishwasher, stove, refrigerator and the washer and dryer.
 

TWO - OVERALL CONDITION - A North Carolina home inspection will include a visible inspection of the dwelling for overall condition. The N C home inspector will inspect the overall condition of the house, the settlement, and conduct a visible evaluation of the structure for squareness and vertical plumb. The visible includes where exposed, the foundation, side walls, roof line, and any extensions that may have been added to the house. Many time structural defects are noted by just simply stepping back and looking at the overall squareness of the house.

THREE - ROOF LINE AND ROOF - A North Carolina home inspection will include a visible inspection of the exposed areas of the complete roof. The N C home inspector will visibly inspect the house roof line for squareness and the ridge beam for any deflection. The complete roof will be given an overall visible inspection for condition and deflection. A low section in the roof is a good indication that there may be a rafter or roof sheathing problem.

FOUR - ENTRANCE STEPS - A North Carolina home inspection will include an inspection of the entrance steps or ground level entrance areas. The N C home inspector will inspect all the entrance steps of the house. The entrance steps are a very high maintenance item. This inspector has discovered that most houses over five years old need some type of general maintenance to the entrance steps or stoop. Two of the more serious problems of entrance steps other than general maintenance is concrete deterioration and stoop rotation. Stoop rotation is when the foundation of a concrete, stone, or brick stoop has heavy settlement, causing it to rotate back into the foundation of the house. This condition can cause serious cracks in the foundation. In other words, the stoop because of settlement is putting heavy pressure on the foundation wall that can cause the wall to crack.

FIVE - EXTERIOR FOUNDATION INSPECTION - A North Carolina home inspection includes a visible inspection of the exposed areas of the exterior foundation. The N C home inspector will inspect the exterior of the foundation for cracks, bulging, bowing, deterioration, and heavy settlement. Particular attention will be paid to areas of the foundation where there may be large trees growing. The N C home inspector will be looking for foundation damage from large tree roots. Another area of concern is the foundation area where a rain gutter downspouts may be discharging water right alongside the foundation. Thousands of gallons of rain water being discharged right alongside the foundation, eventually will damage the foundation and penetrate the basement.

SIX - INTERIOR STRUCTURAL FRAMING - A North Carolina home inspector includes a visible inspection of the exposed areas of the interior framing. The N C home inspector will make a visible inspection of the house interior for structural problems. When feasible , he will inspect the main beam, lolly columns, rim and floor joists and all other components of the structure. Particular attention will be paid to the levelness of the floors. Floors that have a visible noticeable slope is an indication that there may be a structural problem.

SEVEN - OVERALL CONDITION OF THE DOORS AND WINDOWS - A North Carolina home inspection includes an inspection of the doors and windows. The N C home inspector will make a visible inspection for : the condition and squareness of the doors and windows which is a good indicator of the settlement of the house. Doors that are really out of square and a if the floor has a severe slope, definitely would call for a visible inspection and evaluation of the framing and foundation. The N C home inspector will also test a number of the windows for condition and ease of operation.

EIGHT - INTERIOR FOUNDATION - A North Carolina home inspection includes a visible inspection of the exposed areas of the interior foundation. The N C home inspector will inspect when feasible, crawl spaces, slab foundation, and basement floors and walls for structural condition and settlement. These are the areas that are most susceptible to water damage. The inspector will be inspecting for : cracks, heavy settlement, deterioration of the concrete, displacement of foundation walls, heaving or settlement of the slab or basement floors. The areas mentioned are just a few of the main areas of the interior foundation inspection.

NINE - INTERIOR STRUCTURE
- A North Carolina home inspection includes a visible inspection of the interior condition of the dwelling. The N C home inspector will inspect the interior walls floors and ceilings for structural problems. First he will inspect the visible wood framing in the basement such as sill plates, girders, and floor joists, just to name a few framing components. The home inspector N C will be looking for: wood rot, functional support columns, the condition of the main beam and floor joists, and, if visible, the condition of the sub flooring. In the inspection of the wall and ceilings, the inspector will be inspecting for: cracks , displacement, water damage and the overall condition.

TEN - ATTIC AREA - A North Carolina home inspection includes an inspection of the attic. The N C home inspector will inspect the attic areas when feasible for any structural problems with the floor, rafters, walls, main beam and all other structural components. Particular attention will be paid to the rafters. The inspector will be looking for sagged, rotted, or cracked rafters that may need repair or replacement. Note, for safety reasons, a home inspector doesn't have to enter an un-floored attic.
