HOME INSPECTIONS

image760

A home inspection is the most important step in buying any property, whether it’s residential or commercial.  Before spending tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars and doing so without knowing the property’s condition, an inspection can protect you going into negotiations and even benefit you by justifying a lower offer.  Your financial welfare is one of the most important aspects of life, second only to the welfare of your family. Purchasing a home is the largest venture a person takes in one’s life and doing so blindly can be costly without a home inspection in Tampa's growing market.


Inspections are conducted impartially and start outside to observe the overall condition of the grounds and structure including the roof.  Moving inside, the industry’s standard inspection is exceeded by using state of the art tools to perform an in-depth inspection and identify problems that affect the structures integrity and occupant’s safety.  Handy Vet Inspections uses the following equipment:


  • Mold Spore Air Quality Test Kit: Samples the air within the home specifically testing for airborne mold spores and assists in determining the presence of mold.


  • Forward Looking Infra-Red Camera (FLIR): Detects temperature differences inside walls and critical components increasing detection of air and water leaks, overloaded electrical breakers or appliances, and many more.


  • Borescope Camera: Allows a view into walls, cavities, and appliances when accessible via a tiny wand camera to identify issues with wiring, structure, HVAC, mold, etc.


  • Remote Controlled Drone w/4K Video: Enables the inspection of roofs that cannot be accessed due to height, dangerous material type (slate, clay, wood shake, metal, etc) or conditions that endanger the inspector.  Drone Photography is a growing request in real estate today.


As an impartial home inspector I will not tell you whether you should purchase a property or not, however, I provide as much information as possible for you to make an informed decision.  The inspection, by industry standard is only visual, but I make the investment to purchase special tools and additional education on updated inspection techniques and new home systems to exceed the standard and perform the best inspection possible.  We become a team from the beginning, 1) to ensure you know the condition before for your purchase, 2) for future needs regarding the home or business.

What Is Inspected

A comprehensive home inspection is an overall, non-invasive analysis of the condition of a home at the time of the inspection.  The primary goal of a home inspector is to protect the buyer's interests, to identify and report on major deficiencies, and unsafe or expensive problems that exist in the home.  Once the inspection is completed, the inspector communicates the findings through a written report.
