Exterior Home Inspection: Individual Component Inspection

Roof, Electrical Wire & Plumbing System Inspections by Fort Washington Home Inspector

Are you experiencing difficulties with one part of your home and would like to have it examined, then having a component inspection is ideal. If you are sure that the rest of the house is in good repair but just would like a second opinion about a component, this would be the inspection for you.

Whether it be just the roof, the attic, the electrical, basement, crawlspace, HVAC, or more, we can help and you will receive a written report of the findings. Isolating the cause of the problem will help you select the proper contractor for the job and save you money. These inspections take approximately one hour and are more focused since it’s only one component being inspected.
