What We Inspect

Our Lancaster home inspections are performed by trained, certified inspectors. Here’s what our team checks:

Windows & Doors
  • Exterior doors: We confirm doors close, latch, and seal correctly.
  • Windows: We verify seals and operation are working as intended.
  • Garage overhead door: We test the door and confirm the safety sensor stops and reverses properly.
Siding & Roofing
  • Exterior walls: We confirm siding and wall materials are in sound condition.
  • Roof trim: We check fascia, soffit, and eaves for damage or rot.
  • Roof surface & flashing: We look for watertight seals at joints and penetrations.
  • Drives & walkways: We check paths, walkways, and driveways for hazards.
  • Drainage & grading: We review slope, surface water flow, and landscaping for potential water-intrusion issues.
Heating & Cooling (HVAC)
  • Heating system: We operate the furnace and verify controls function correctly.
  • Air conditioning: We test the AC and confirm it responds properly.
