Residential home inspection
A Greater Dayton home inspection is a visual, non-invasive evaluation of the major systems and components of a house. Mike walks the property the way a careful buyer would want — looking for defects, safety issues, and maintenance items that affect value and livability.
Typically covered
- Roof covering, flashings, and visible roof structure
- Exterior walls, grading, drainage, and walkways
- Foundation, basement or crawlspace (where accessible)
- Plumbing supply, drains, water heater, and fixtures
- Electrical service, panels, outlets, and visible wiring
- Heating and cooling equipment (operation as accessible)
- Attic insulation, ventilation, and visible structure
- Interior walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors
- Garage, including door operators when present
Standards of practice guide the inspection. Some things (like code compliance certifications, pest treatment, or invasive testing) are outside a standard home inspection — Mike will say so plainly if something needs a specialist.
