Multi-unit residential inspection report

A multi-unit inspection covers the same things as the single-home inspection reports but every unit has to be inspected individually.

Here is what the inspection covers:

Foundation: The inspection report will report any anomaly, movements, cracks that cause issues with the property

Structure: What we focus on during the inspection report is the general shape. Are there any sagging issues, wall cracks, hard to open doors or windows

Exterior: This part of the inspection report focuses on any issues regarding the siding, the roofing, ventilation access

Roof: One of the most important component of any construction, the inspection report focuses on any possible leaks, displaced flashing, broken shingles and the overall condition.

Plumbing: A vital element of your home, the inspection report will let you know the type of plumbing used, the life expectancy of the plumbing, signs of leaking and any concern for the integrity of property

Electricity: This part of the inspection report focuses on finding faulty wiring, open grounds, exposed wiring, damaged connection and anything that can be visible to the trained eye.

Heating and ventilation(HVAC): Although we do not open the furnace, our inspection report will tell you if the heating system is in working order. We will activate all HVAC units to make sure they are working properly and check for issues that would need to be addressed.

Interior: Here we look at the general points. The inspection report tells you about the windows, the doors, flooring and the overall condition of the property.

Insulation: A very important part of any house, the insulation plays a key role in keeping you comfortable during the cold winter months and scorching heat waves of summer. Our inspection report will give you a better understanding of the insulation for your house, with tips on how to lower your energy consumption.

Basement: The most important part for a home inspection, the basement is where a good majority of issues can be found. Be it water infiltration, insufficient insulation, cracked concrete slab or other problems.

Please make sure that all units to be inspected are accessible, there may be additional costs if the inspector has to return. Any garage or structure attached to the main building is included in the inspection report. Any detached structure may be subject to additional fees.
