Exterior Inspection

Your home’s exterior needs to be more than just attractive. The exterior material, whether it’s siding, cedar shake, brick or stone, is what keeps your home sealed from the wind, rain and snow. The exterior components, along with the roof and drainage system, act together to keep the interior of your home warm, dry and moisture-free. All of the parts of your home’s exterior must be attached properly. If one piece fails, it ruins the integrity of the entire system.

The certified inspector will do a thorough inspection of the following:

  1. Doors close tightly

  2. Windows seal tightly; screens (if used) are in good condition

  3. Walls and foundation areas clear of vegetation

  4. Utility service entrances sealed or screened

  5. Exterior water spigots not dripping or leaking

  6. Walls/roof line free of holes and cracks

  7. Vents (supply & exhaust) screened and unobstructed

  8. Exterior free from mold/mildew

  9. Adequate water drainage near foundation (no standing water)

  10. Roof in good condition and draining properly

  11. Gutters cleared of debris

Making sure the exterior of your home is in good condition will guarantee you have made all the correct steps to know your future property or current will withstand any climate.
