Top Reasons to Hire an AHIT Home Inspector
1. VENTILATION
Attic ventilation and insulation play an important role in moisture, condensation, roof life and so much more - truly a key factor in how your home is functioning.
2. ROOF
The type, style, layers, quality, installation and more are checked. We will perform a visual inspection of both the exterior roof and attic areas.
3. HEATING & COOLING
We look at the age, condition and safety of each. In most cases, these are the most utilized appliances in the home. The wrong burn pattern and moisture production can cause premature heat exchanger failure and possibly carbon monoxide.
4. STRUCTURE
We complete a thorough, visual inspection on the inside and outside of the structure from the attic to the foundation.
5. DRAINAGE
Inadequate or reversed drainage and grading cause most water problems. Proper gutters and downspouts are another important part of moisture control.
6. ELECTRICAL
We check double tapping, undersized wiring, open wiring, undersized services and more!
7. PLUMBING
Inadequate water flow, water pressure and drainage are just the start of our inspection.
