Journey Home Inspections: What’s Included in a General Home Inspection?

When it comes to purchasing or maintaining a home, understanding the condition of the property is crucial. At Journey Home Inspections, we provide thorough assessments that cover all the essential components of your home. Here’s a breakdown of what our general home inspection includes:

1. Structural Components

The integrity of your home’s structure is vital. Our inspection includes a detailed evaluation of:

  • Foundation: We assess slab and pier & beam foundations for any signs of settling or damage.
  • Doors and Windows: We check for proper operation, seals, and any signs of wear.
  • Walls, Ceilings, and Floors: We look for cracks, water damage, and structural stability.

2. Roof & Attic

We inspect the roof for damage and wear, including shingles and flashing. In the attic, we check insulation and ventilation to ensure your home is energy-efficient.

3. Electrical Systems

Our team thoroughly examines the electrical system, including wiring, outlets, and panels, to ensure everything is safe and up to code.

4. Garage

The garage is often overlooked. We inspect its structure, door mechanisms, and any potential issues.

5. Grading & Draining

Proper drainage is essential for preventing water issues. We evaluate the grading around your home to ensure effective drainage away from the foundation.

6. Heating & Cooling (HVAC)

We check the heating and cooling systems for efficiency and functionality, ensuring a comfortable environment year-round.

7. Plumbing

Our inspection includes a thorough assessment of all plumbing fixtures, pipes, and systems for leaks or potential issues.

8. Appliances

We examine all major appliances, ensuring they function properly and meet safety standards. From the dishwasher to the refrigerator, we check for any potential issues.

At Journey Home Inspections, we’re committed to providing you with a comprehensive understanding of your home’s condition. Whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining your property, our detailed inspections give you the peace of mind you deserve. Contact us today to schedule your inspection! 🏡✨
