How A Building Inspection Works
What happens during an inspection
Scheduling
To start a building inspection, you need to book a qualified inspector. They’ll ask for details about the building like how old and big it is, where it’s located, and why you need the inspection.
Inspection
On inspection day, the inspector will come to the building and start by visually checking the exterior including the roof, foundation, walls, and windows.
Interior Inspection
After checking the outside, the inspector will go indoors and check every room, like the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas. They’ll look for water damage, electrical or plumbing problems, and anything that could affect how safe the building is.
Systems Inspection
The inspector will also check the building’s systems. These include the electrical, plumbing, air conditioning, and other mechanical systems, for any wear and tear or damage.
Report
After the inspection, the inspector will give a detailed report with findings. This will include photos and descriptions of any issues. The report also covers the building’s condition and potential risks or hazards.
Recommendations
The inspector might suggest repairs, maintenance, or upgrades to keep the building safe and functional. These suggestions could involve fixing a leaky roof and replacing faulty wiring.
