Personalized Inspections

Boyd Home Inspection Services offers customizable inspections. All of our inspections adhere to the InterNACHI - Home Inspection Standards of Practice

Pre-Purchase Inspection

  • This inspection covers the visible and accessible structures and systems of a home. We inspect the five major home components - Roof, Structure, HVAC, Plumbing and Electrical. This inspection includes a detailed report encompassing any deficiencies, safety concerns, components past their typical life span, construction styles and materials, as well as inspector recommendations. This extensive inspection and comprehensive report will allow you to make an educated purchasing decision.

Pre-Listing Inspection

  • A Pre-Listing Inspection, also known as a Move-in Certified Seller Inspection, is an option for the seller of a property before listing the home for sale. The inspection report provides the seller a better understanding of the home prior to placing it on the market. This knowledge gives the seller the option of making any repairs ahead of time, avoiding buyers’ potential repair demands and related negotiations. Early identification of possible issues eliminates surprises and allows the owner time to make repairs in a controlled and cost-saving manner.

Home Warranty Inspection

  • This inspection, also referred to as an 11th-Month Warranty Inspection, is performed for homeowners who recently purchased a new construction home. Builders are required to warranty their construction for a period of one year after the sale of the home. This Home Inspection and accompanying report will report on the visible conditions of the home and alert you to any deficiencies that will be in need of repair by your builder.

    In order to take full advantage of the builder’s repair warranty before it expires, it is important that this inspection be completed prior to owning the home for 365 days.

New Construction Inspection

  • A New Construction Inspection is performed when a newly built home is ready for occupancy, before the builder conducts the final walk-through. This inspection offers you valuable information on the property and allows time for necessary repairs or upgrades before the transaction with the builder is finalized. Our inspector will examine the exterior and interior of the home, including the foundation, walls, roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Our inspector will also test appliances to ensure they are functioning properly. If any issues are found, our inspector will document them in a report and recommend necessary repairs or replacements that should be completed prior to closing.

Mold Inspection/Testing

  • A Mold Inspection can be a stand-alone inspection or added on to one of our other options. A mold test will be performed to assess the risk of mold exposure in your home. Our licensed inspector will implement the following professionally established procedures to test your residential or commercial building:

    • Scan the structure for any visible evidence of mold or moisture

    • Take indoor and outdoor air samples, as well as perform tape-lifts as needed

    • Send samples to a nationally accredited laboratory for assessment

    • Provide the lab’s analysis of the samples

    • Issue a report covering the lab findings and identifying specific levels of mold or allergens to help with any necessary remediation

    Avoid health risks with mold sampling.

Radon Testing

  • Whether you’re buying, selling, or already living in a residence, you can protect your family from the risk of radon.

    Radon is a colorless, odorless gas emitted into the air by the radioactive element, radium, as it breaks down in soil, rock, and water. Typically, radon penetrates buildings through small cracks or openings in foundations undetected.

    Since testing is the only way to determine a home’s radon levels, the EPA and Surgeon General recommend that home buyers, sellers, and remodelers test all homes. If consumers discover elevated radon levels—which the EPA estimates that nearly one in every 15 households do—the EPA urges them to take corrective measures, including the installation of a radon-reduction system.

    Radon levels can vary from neighborhood to neighborhood and house to house. Even if your neighbor’s house tested at a low level for radon, it is still important for you to schedule your own assessment to ensure the safety of your family and occupants.

    Following national protocols, Boyd Home Inspection Services offers radon measurements utilizing advanced CRM (Continuous Radon Monitor) devices to identify if an elevated radon level is likely. A Radon Inspection can be a stand-alone inspection or added on to one of our other options.
