Most newly constructed homes come with a 12-month Builder\u2019s Warranty. Before yours expires, order a Carson Dunlop home inspection to give you peace of mind for the future. Your inspector will note the condition of hundreds of your home\u2019s most important systems and components and provide a detailed report of their findings so you can address possible issues with the builder. Catch problems before your Builder\u2019s Warranty expires to help you save money and valuable time.<\/p>

Carson Dunlop conducts visual, non-invasive inspections. This means we\u2019ll never look behind walls, dissemble electrical panels, or deliberately move personal items. To receive the most accurate home inspection report, the current home occupant should follow these simple preparation steps.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Our Carson Dunlop inspectors are pet friendly, but in order to provide the most thorough inspection of all systems, it’s best to have pets either away from the home or secured in a crate in a non-essential space. The majority of inspections last approximately three hours. Refrain from securing them in a room, yard, basement, garage, or any other space which could prevent the inspector from getting a complete look at your property.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Your inspector will need room to stand and kneel around your entire furnace, electrical panels, and water heater. You\u2019ll want to clear the floor around these areas, leaving an area of three to four feet for the inspector to work.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Your inspector will be taking a look at all garages, sheds, and your exterior electrical box. Leave all keys and garage door openers out in an easy-to-find location with clear labels and directions.

Clear a path to access points for basements, crawl spaces, and garages and be sure to unbolt any doors. If these spaces are being used for storage, move all items out from the wall by at least two feet.

It\u2019s important to clear the area around the foundation of your home so your inspector can examine it for damage. Clear away leaves, brush, or snow along the perimeter of your home and be sure there are no other obstacles in the way, such as garbage cans. If tree branches are touching your siding or roof, your inspector will note it in their final report, so it’s best to trim any away from the house.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A home inspection is an unbiased assessment performed by a specially licensed or certified third-party inspector. The purpose of an inspection is to determine the property’s condition in order to help buyers determine that a home is safe and affordable to them before moving forward with the purchase. A home inspection report may also be used to negotiate any needed repairs with the property\u2019s seller.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The average home inspection takes between 2 and 3 hours. Factors that can affect the inspector\u2019s time on site include the size and age of the property, and any additional services<\/a><\/strong> requested.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We encourage you (and your agent if applicable) to be present for the last 30 minutes of the inspection so that we can conduct a final walkthrough. During this time, we\u2019ll show you any important findings and you\u2019ll have a chance to ask as many questions as you\u2019d like.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Your inspector will assess all of the home\u2019s major structures and systems to determine their current condition, as well as needed maintenance or repairs. We also pay close attention to issues that can compromise the health and safety of a home like water intrusion, gas leaks, smoke detector functionality, handrail placement, and trip hazards.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

No, your inspector will not damage, modify, or move anything in the home to complete the inspection. We have the tools and technology to spot hidden issues and enter hard-to-reach places without the need for invasive measures.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The inspection report we provide is the property of the party that pays for the inspection service. In most real estate transactions, the homebuyer pays for the inspection of the home they’ve made the offer on. For pre-listing inspections, the home seller owns the report, but they often make it available to potential buyers.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

No, your inspection report is not used to determine the home\u2019s value and won\u2019t be taken into consideration by property assessors.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes! Even new homes can have hidden issues you need to know about. Our inspectors often uncover potential repairs in homes that have not been moved into yet.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Your inspector will guide you through their findings during a final walkthrough of the home. Use this opportunity to ask any questions you have about your home\u2019s systems, structures, recommended maintenance tasks, and more. Remember, your inspector is there as a resource for you, so no question is too big or small. <\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
