What  to  Expect

Our  inspections  meet  or  exceed  industry  accepted  standards.  Every  Gorden  Homes  inspection  is  based  on  the  standards  of  practice  set  forth  by  American  Society  of  Home  Inspectors  (ASHI).

​

Can I participate in the inspection?

​

At  Gorden  Homes,  we  understand  that  you  may  want  to  be  part  of  the  inspection  process.  We  encourage  you  to  come  along  on  the  inspection  and  we  will  provide  you  with  valuable  knowledge  and  insight  to  any  questions  or  concerns  that  may  pop  up  along  the  way.  

 

We’ll  discuss  our  findings  and  explain  the  impact  on  your  potential  investment  and  what  may  need  to  be  addressed  now  or  in  the  future.

To  be  able  to  plan  for  your  inspection,  you  should  expect:  

​

  • to  spend  2-3  hours,  this  includes  time  for  questions  or  discussion. 

  • to  get  dusty  or  muddy,  depending  on  the  property  and  weather. 

  • to  work  with  your  realtor  to  gain  full  access  to  the  house  with  all  utilities  in  working  order 

  • our  inspector  to  check  from  bottom  to  top  (among  others): 

    • the  home’s  structure

    • plumbing,  electrical,  heating/cooling  systems 

    • attics  and  insulation 

    • installed  appliances  oexterior  of  the  home,  including  roof  obasement/crawlspace  and  foundation,  chimneys  and  fireplaces

    • porches,  patios,  decks  and  landscape  grade  (although  not  irrigation  systems) 

  • not  to  be  rushed.  If  you  need  more  time  for  questions  or  consultation,  just  ask.
