Services
HVAC Inspection
Our HVAC inspections evaluate forced air systems, baseboard heaters, radiators, and central air conditioners. We check valves, ducts, electrical components, and system efficiency to identify safety hazards, leaks, or inefficiencies. Issues like mold, thermostat malfunctions, or costly repairs are documented to help buyers negotiate repairs or pricing. This ensures clients avoid unexpected post-purchase expenses.
Electrical Systems
We assess breaker panels, outlets, wiring, and grounding to ensure compliance with safety standards. Our inspectors test for faulty systems, outdated components, and fire hazards. Solar panel installations are also evaluated for efficiency. Identifying electrical issues early prevents costly upgrades and ensures the safety of future occupants.
Roof Evaluation
Our team physically inspects roofs for shingle damage, soft spots, and water damage. Chimneys, vents, and skylights are checked for leaks and structural integrity. We estimate remaining roof lifespan and advise on necessary repairs or replacements, helping buyers negotiate costs with sellers.
Plumbing Checks
We examine visible plumbing for leaks, corrosion, and proper drainage. Advanced tools detect hidden moisture issues. Main drains and sewer lines are assessed to avoid expensive post-closing repairs. Our detailed reports highlight problems that could lead to water damage or system failures.
Wood-Destroying Insect Inspection
This free service identifies termite infestations, carpenter ant damage, and other wood-destroying organisms. We inspect structural components for signs of past or current infestations, ensuring buyers are aware of potential repair costs before finalizing purchases.

Report
James from Investment Inspection was able to provide a last minute inspection prior to a holiday weekend on a new home purchase without any hesitation. James was there 15 minutes before the appointment and was very thorough throughout the entire process. James was able to answer all questions and concerns prior, during and after the inspection. Investment Inspection's price was good compared to other price quotes I received. I also received my final report in less than a few hours after the inspection. I highly recommend James and Investment Inspection to anyone looking for a good home inspection

Extremely professional, knowledgeable and stress free! I was able to easily set up an appointment and during the inspection, he took the time to explain to me what he was looking for which put my mind at ease. Plus, he had an incredible turnaround time on his report! I highly recommend them for a stress free, thorough and timely inspection!
