What is Residential Home Inspection?

Our home inspection service process is a professional, objective, visual examination of the current condition of a home, at a specific period in time (like a picture/snapshot). Homebuyers now entering the marketplace use inspections to gain valuable information about the potentially largest purchase in their lifetime. It helps you to determine whether there are any major defects or system inadequacies at the time of purchase.

In most cases, the home inspection process is performed after a sales contract, conditional upon a satisfactory home inspection, has been accepted by the seller. The inspection can usually be arranged immediately to within 10 days of signing the purchase agreement. The pricing is based upon square footage, which needs to be determined at the time of scheduling. The home buyer is typically encouraged to attend the inspection so that he/she can see first-hand the workings of the home. It also represents an excellent opportunity for the prospective buyer to ask questions about the home or to discuss potential changes.

Our home inspection will cover all the major accessible systems of a house, including exterior areas of the home, roofing, electrical, heating, cooling, insulation, plumbing, and interior. Our team follows the Standards of Practice of the State of Wisconsin.

On the Level Inspection Service strives to highlight the positive aspects of a home. In fact, many of the home inspector’s observations or recommendations help to dispel home purchaser anxieties and provide useful repair suggestions. Our home inspection should not be confused with an appraisal, a municipal code inspection, an environmental audit, or a homeowner’s warranty.

The goal for your inspector is to provide you with a better understanding of the physical condition of the home to make well-informed decisions. It is also our inspector’s role to keep findings in perspective for you. After the inspection is completed, an electronic report will be prepared for you, documenting the results of the inspection. That report should be available to you within 24 hours of the inspection.
