Building Assessment Unit’s commitment to ensuring the safety and longevity of your home extends to our comprehensive Home Defect Assessments.

From foundation to roof, we meticulously assess every component to identify vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and potential defects that may compromise the integrity of the property.

Building Assessment Unit

Structural Assessment: The inspector evaluates the structural integrity of the property, including the foundation, walls, roof, floors, and ceilings. They look for signs of damage, such as cracks, settlement, or sagging, which could indicate structural issues.

Exterior Assessment: This involves inspecting the exterior components of the home, such as siding, windows, doors, trim, and drainage systems. The inspector checks for damage, deterioration, or improper installation that may compromise the home’s weatherproofing or energy efficiency.

Interior Assessment: The inspector examines various interior features, including walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, stairs, and railings. They look for defects such as cracks, leaks, moisture intrusion, or poor workmanship that could affect the home’s safety or livability.

Mechanical Systems Assessment: This includes evaluating the functionality and condition of mechanical systems such as plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). The inspector checks for leaks, faulty wiring, inadequate insulation, or other issues that could pose safety risks or affect the home’s comfort and efficiency.

Appliance and Fixture Assessment: The inspector tests major appliances and fixtures, such as water heaters, furnaces, kitchen appliances, and bathroom fixtures, to ensure they are in working order and properly installed.

Environmental Assessment: Depending on the location and type of property, the inspector may assess environmental factors such as radon levels, mold, asbestos, lead-based paint, or other hazardous materials that could pose health risks to occupants.

Safety Assessment: Throughout the inspection, the inspector prioritizes safety concerns and identifies any potential hazards, such as electrical hazards, fire hazards, trip hazards, or inadequate smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

After completing the assessment, the inspector provides a detailed report outlining their findings, including descriptions of any defects or deficiencies observed, recommendations for repairs or further evaluation, and estimates of the urgency and cost of addressing identified issues. This information empowers buyers to make informed decisions about purchasing the property and helps sellers understand any necessary repairs or improvements needed to enhance the marketability of their home
