Peace of Mind Home Inspections does not have a goal of helping a sale go through or stopping a sale from taking place. I am here to provide as much information regarding the property as possible so the buyer can make an informed decision.
That being said, the following is what you can expect from Peace of Mind Home Inspections:
1) A thorough, non-invasive, visual inspection of the property and its components.
2) A detailed written inspection with a component checklist and a repair/replace summary.
3) A one-on-one walk through or telephone conference to discuss the report findings.
4) "Service after the Sale" - I am available to help with any questions you may have down-the-road.
I welcome clients to be present for a walk through after performing the actual inspection. Often questions about a property can be more easily addressed in person.

Whole Home Inspections
Just like the name indicates, this inspection covers foundation to roof top, inside and out, virtually all parts of the home: Roof, Exterior, Garage, Interior, Structural Components, Plumbing, Electrical, Heating & A/C, Insulation & Ventilation, and Built-in Appliances. A whole home inspection from Peace of Mind Home Inspections includes a detailed report broken down by category in language you can easily understand. Each component in your home is inspected and its current condition is assessed as serviceable or in need of repair or replacement. If the item is functioning, but nearing the end of its useful life; then it too will be noted.
Partial Home Inspections
Partial inspections focus on specific areas of concern with the property. From footings to roof vents, and everything in between, a partial inspection can help you avoid headaches from those troubling aspects of your property. Peace of Mind Home Inspections partial inspections provide you with the same detailed analysis of your property as the whole home inspections, but they just focus on the parts of the property that you designate.
Termite Inspections
An invasion of termites can destroy a home. In the United States, termites do more damage to properties than natural disasters. Spotting them early can nearly always prevent major damage from taking place. Knowing when, where, and how termites destroy wood is essential for a successful inspection. I will examine the house looking for any signs of termites, damage, or previous treatments.
Radon Inspections (ESI)
Radon comes from the natural (radioactive) breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water, entering the air you breathe. Radon is colorless and odorless. It can infiltrate any type of building - homes, offices, and schools - and build up to high levels. But you and your family will most likely receive your greatest exposure where you spend most of your time... your home. Fortunately, when professionally tested, you can accurately determine the concentration of Radon present in a home and take action to mitigate if levels are unsafe.
Mold/Air Quality Inspections (ESI)
Molds can be found almost anywhere; they can grow on virtually any organic substance, as long as moisture and oxygen are present. There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, foods, and insulation. When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth will often occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or unaddressed. While the whole house inspection will indicate any excessive moisture problems; air samples can detect any airborne spores. Surface samples can identify the type of mold and it's significance.
Lead (ESI)
: In some homes built before 1978, lead is often found in the paint, soil, and other building materials both inside and outside the home. Too much lead exposure can cause serious health problems, but fortunately, lead poisoning can be prevented. Lead inspections identify lead contaminants to be removed.
