Inspection Overview

HomePride of Southern Ohio, Inc.A home cannot fail an inspection. A professional home inspection gives you an independent, unbiased view of any problems and their solutions, so that you will have all the facts you need to make a sound, informed decision.

Depending on the size and condition of the home, a thorough home inspection will take an average of two and a half hours. Ideally, you will accompany your inspector during the consultation, so that you will have visual reinforcement of your written report.

We take our inspection reports seriously. Every inspection is a complete and thorough analysis of all the major systems and components in the home. The report includes a clear description of what we've found with any problem areas noted, so you can easily identify them. Our inspectors provide free telephone consultations after your inspection.

A thorough home inspection will include the following:
 
A simple guide for basic home systems on how to operate your home, with over 100 drawings and simple explanations that describe the operation of the structural, electrical and mechanical systems in your home.
 
A complete cost guide with price ranges for common repairs/replacements in the home. 
 
The average inspection lasts 2 1/2 hours.
