Home inspections are an integral part of being a home owner. Certified home inspections can determine if your new house is safe to live in or whether your current house is still in good condition. There are a lot of home inspections services around that are being offered by different home inspection companies. Some are more specialized, while some covers most of the areas of the house. Here are some of the most common home inspection types available today.
General or Standard Home Inspections
General home inspection is a comprehensive inspection that covers all the parts of the house. A certified home inspector will check everything from roof to floor to determine if there are defects in your systems, structures and components. They can also give maintenance tips or provide information whether to buy or replace any defective parts. When hiring a home inspector to do general home inspections, it is best to look for those who are certified ASHI or The American Society of Home Inspectors member.
Air Sampling and Mold Inspection
Molds are one of the most dangerous things inside the house. Their spores, like that of the Black Mold variety, can cause allergies and respiratory problems. They live in hard to reach places such as those in attics, garage and basements. They proliferate in areas that are wet and with minimal ventilation. It is best to hire certified home inspectors to look out for this household menace and to also check your plumbing systems if there are leaks that can provide moisture for the molds to grow. Air sampling is another method of testing for molds inside the house. It does not mean that you’re house is mold free if you don’t see any patches of mold around. Air sampling is the most accurate way of determining if there are really molds and spores inside our house.
Pool and Spa Mold Inspections
Even outdoor facilities such as your pool and spa are not safe from molds and other microbes. For those in the Los Angeles area where pools and spa are open the whole year round, it is best to ask your certified home inspectors and pool and spa inspectors to regularly check your swimming pools and Jacuzzis from molds and slime. White water molds can be as nasty as their indoor cousin, the Black Mold. Pink slime on the other hand is cause by bacteria that can lead to skin irritation. Hiring special Certified Pool and Spa Inspectors can help you look out and prevent these microorganisms from colonizing parts of your pool and spa.
Maintenance and Pre- Sale home inspections
It is best to look for the services of a certified home inspection company before buying a new house. They can check out all the good structures as well as the flaws that are present inside the house that you want to buy. Their findings can help you out in your final decision whether to buy the house or not.
It is also very important to hire a certified home inspector to conduct a maintenance check every couple of years for your current house. He can look out for worn out parts and suggest things that need replacements or improvements to make your house safer and last longer.
