Inspection Services

ID Home Inspections performs thorough and detailed home evaluations that are more than just an inspection for the discovery of defects.  We view the home inspection as an opportunity to educate buyers and homeowners about the function of the systems in their home and how to maintain those systems in the future. Our high-quality reports  clearly identify potential issues in an easy-to-read format, which makes our reports easy to share and use for contractors or repair requests.

Some prospective buyers need a home evaluation, but do not need all of the details in a full home inspection. We provide a more affordable option for anyone looking for an overview of just the major systems of a home. This option is ideal for investors, sellers who are looking for a general idea of concerns before listing their home, buyers planning to do renovations, or buyers who are not negotiating on the results of a home inspection. A report is included with this inspection.

Another option for buyers that don’t need all of the detailed information in a full home inspection is a verbal walk-through. This is our most affordable home evaluation option and does not include a written report. We will identify any major or significant issues and will discuss our findings with our clients to ensure that they are making an informed decision about their home purchase.

A sewer camera inspection can help to identify issues with underground waste pipes before they cause an issue in the home. Underground pipes can be broken, displaced, or clogged which could cause a backup or leaks. Having a sewer scope performed as part of the home inspection allows for the discovery of these issues so that homeowners and home buyers can make informed decisions.

Lead poisoning can result in a variety of chronic health concerns and developmental issues for children. Click here to read more on the dangers of lead poisoning. One of the most common forms of lead exposure is from lead in paint, especially when it is peeling or chipping. Lead paint was commonly used in homes before 1978, so any homes built before then could pose a health concern. ID Home Inspections can collect surface samples to determine if lead paint is exposed to help prevent related health risks.
