CAPITAL
Home Inspection Services

Inspections can help you buy or sell your home or building with confidence. As trained professionals and experienced home builders, there is not much we have not seen. We will provide invaluable help in turning you into a knowledgeable consumer. We will help you to identify problems in the making and take preventive measures to avoid costly repairs. We make it a point to explain problems in a manner that make it easy to understand. Sellers can understand conditions the buyer’s inspector may point out and put the property in better selling condition by making repairs. Our inspection services include:

Buyer's Inspection
In both new and older properties, the best way to ensure that you are well informed about their strengths and weaknesses is to have us give you a professional inspection. We are trained to identify problem areas, both small and large, that may have been overlooked by the previous owners and to identify which require immediate attention. See our Inspection Overview for more details.

Seller's Inspection
Whether you are selling your property on your own or using a realtor, it’s always a prudent idea to have a professional home inspection. Knowledge is power. All properties have strengths and weaknesses: we help you answer how serious the problems are, which must be immediately addressed and which can wait. The more you know about your home, the more prepared you will be for negotiation. See our Inspection Overview for more details.

Environmental Hazards
Our job as your professional home inspector is to alert you, to the extent possible, to unknown problems and potential environmental hazards in your current or potential house. Ours is a non-invasive visual inspection of your property which can alert you to possible problems.

We Inspect for these hazards:

• Asbestos: Asbestos material that crumbles easily if sawed, scraped, or sanded into a powder is more likely to create a health hazard because it can be inhaled into the lungs, increasing the risk of disease. See Asbestos FAQ.


• Lead: Lead is a highly toxic metal that was used for many years in products found in and around our homes. In general, the older a home, the more likely it has lead-based paint. See Lead FAQ.


• Mold: There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture. Molds can produce allergens, irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances. See Mold FAQ.


• Radon: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in soils, rock, and water throughout the U.S. Radon is a threat to health because it tends to collect in homes, sometimes to very high concentrations. See Radon FAQ.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Capital Home Inspection Services Inc. only does a visual assessment of what appears to be asbestos and lead. Because some or all require specialized training, certification or licensing, we do not offer these services at this time. If need be, we can take samples to our preferred lab for analysis and a lab can confirm the presence of asbestos or lead.
