Home Inspections
About Home Inspections
Home inspections are most commonly associated with buying and selling a residential property. However, home inspections can be useful in a variety of other situations. In addition to giving potential home buyers an accurate assessment of a property and to giving home sellers an idea of what issues should be fixed before listing, a qualified, experienced home inspector can help homeowners to evaluate what’s needed for a major remodeling effort or addition. He can also be useful to property owners looking to plan preventative maintenance.
It helps to have an impartial and knowledgeable opinion when it comes to complicated issues of construction and property condition. A home inspector can help clarify these issues and make them so you and all the parties involved in the transaction can understand them.

Built-In Kitchen Appliances
If your home or prospective home has permanently installed appliances, it’s important to have them checked. Your appliances need to function and should be in good condition to avoid safety risks or unexpected replacement costs.
Electrical System
Your home’s electrical system runs behind the scene and you rarely think about it or its current condition. Improper installation and maintenance can lead to dangerous electrical problems. Sound Home Inspection will thoroughly examine your electrical system to ensure everything meets legal safety standards.
Exterior
As the first line of defense against external elements and severe weather conditions, the exterior components of your home should be in great condition at all times. Sound Home Inspection reviews every aspect of your home’s exterior, from the roof down to surface drainage.
