Professional home inspection services for St. Louis, St. Charles, Lincoln, and Warren County
Pre-Purchase Inspections for Buyers
The professional home inspector visually examines the accessible systems and components of a home and operates those systems and components utilizing the ASHI Professional Standards of Practice. The client is encouraged to attend the entire inspection.
Upon completion of the inspection, a computerized Inspection Report with digital photographs is printed on site and presented in the Pillar To Post Inspection Report Binder which includes a seasonal maintenance checklist, home filing system, repair cost/guide estimates, and a Home Depot Home Repair CD-Rom.
We inspect residential single and multi unit homes, apartment buildings, and light commercial office/retail buildings.
Pre-Listing Inspections for Sellers
In preparation of listing a home for sale, the professional home inspector will perform the same inspection they would perform for a buyer (see above). Additionally, the pre-listing inspection will highlight improvements and/or strengths of your home. This information can and will save you money and time in future negotiations. Additional copies of the summary report will be made available to potential buyers, as requested.
Re-Inspections
A visual examination of areas to be determined by the client designed to evaluate whether work requested in a contract addendum has been completed in a satisfactory manner. A copy of the contract addendum and the client, or the clients, representative must be present during the re-inspection. A re-inspection report will be issued at the conclusion of the re-inspection.
Radon Testing
Testing is performed using EPA protocol for home sellers and buyers. A continuous radon monitor is placed in the home for a 48 hour minimum testing period. A Sampling Report is issued with the radon levels by hour and an EPA Overall Radon Average for the sampling period.
Mold Sampling
Samples will be collected to establish the presence and type(s) of microbial contamination. The samples are then sent to an ESA approved Lab, which will analyze them for them for the presence of mold. The Lab will then issue a report detailing the presence and type(s) of mold found. A reference guide will also be provided, which explains the various types of mold along with any recommended action(s).
