Common practices for electricity has changed over the years as you see in the pictures of the old fuse panel and the newer breaker panel. No matter the age of the electrical service, it will be inspected and any issues found will be noted in the inspection report.
Decks are a wonderful place to relax and entertain, but they can also be dangerous if not properly constructed and maintained. From 2003 to 2007 there were 20,200 injuries from structural failure of decks, porches, railing or stairs with 30 deaths.

Your HVAC system is an important part of your home and commercial building. We recommend having it serviced annually by a certified HVAC Specialist to help it maintain peak performance, even after your initial home inspection.
Tip: For standard filters, replace the air filters EVERY MONTH for better performance and longer life of HVAC equipment, regardless of packaging recommendations of filter.
Your roof helps to protect your home and commercial building from the elements; it also adds character. It will be thoroughly inspected from both the outside surface, and inside the attic for any signs of leaks, deterioration or damage.
Fireplaces and wood burning stoves can be wonderful to have in a home, but they need to be properly maintained. According to the U.S Fire Administration, chimney fires and flue fires are the 2nd on the list of residential fires (electrical is number one). Please have a qualified chimney sweep, clean and inspect them prior to use each year.
The foundation is one of the most important areas of the home / building. It is defined as the lowest load-bearing part of the building. These can be in the form of a crawlspace, basement, concrete slab or an elevated foundation. All other parts of the building are supported by the foundation. This is inspected for any visible issues such as cracking, deterioration, damages caused by water penetration, etc...
