Arrow Home Inspections: What's Covered ?

Our inspectors provide comprehensive and detailed reports covering every aspect of your home, from the foundation to the roof and everything in between.  The purpose is to evaluate the condition, function, and safety of the home’s accessible components, helping clients make informed decisions whether they are buying, selling, or maintaining a property.

Our standard residential home inspections evaluate the following areas:

1. Roofing – Inspection of shingles (or any rolled roof materials), flashing, gutters, downspouts, roof penetrations, and overall roof condition, including the chimney.
    
2. Exterior Elements – Review of siding, trim, windows, doors, decks, porches, exterior stairs, and garages.
    
3. Site Elements – Examination of grading, drainage, walkways, patios, driveways, and retaining walls that may impact the home.
    
4. Attic – Inspection of insulation, ventilation, roof framing, and potential signs of leaks or pest intrusion.
    
5. Bathroom – Functional testing of fixtures, ventilation, water flow, drainage, and moisture concerns.
    
6. Kitchen – Evaluation of appliances, plumbing, cabinetry, ventilation, and electrical outlets.
    
7. Interior Elements – Assessment of walls, ceilings, floors, stairs, railings, windows, and doors for structural or cosmetic issues.
    
8. Foundation / Substructure – Examination of visible foundation components, structural supports, and potential deficiencies.
    
9. Foundation Area Water Penetration – Identification of signs of moisture intrusion, drainage problems, or mold risks.
    
10. Heating System and Cooloing – Testing of heating equipment, including furnaces, boilers, and distribution methods.  AC systems are also tested (weather permitting) to assess basic function, condition, and airflow.
     
11. Hot Water Supply – Review of water heater condition, temperature pressure relief systems, and water temperature.
     
12. Plumbing System – Inspection of supply and waste piping, fixtures, flow, drainage, and shut-off valves.
     
13. Electric System – Assessment of the main service panel, wiring, grounding, GFCI protection, and electrical fixtures

And we end with a 'Summary of Findings' – A comprehensive recap of all observed issues, notable conditions, and recommended actions. This section helps clients prioritize repairs, budget for future maintenance, and better understand the overall condition of the property. It distills the most important information from each inspection area into one clear and actionable summary. Summary of findings
