Comprehensive Scope
What We Inspect
Explore each system we inspect to understand how we evaluate your home from top to bottom.
Roofing System
We inspect all major roofing components, including shingles, flashing, vents, skylights, and chimneys, to identify damage, wear, and potential leak points.
Foundation & Structure
Evaluation of the visible foundation. We check for differential settlement typical in Louisiana soils. We inspect the slab, floor structure, wall structure, ceiling structure, and roof structure for signs of movement.
Heating & Cooling
We test heating and cooling using normal operating controls. Given our humidity, we inspect condensate drains, pans and ductwork insulation thoroughly. We measure temperature differentials to ensure the unit is cooling and heating adequately.
Electrical Systems
Safety is paramount. We inspect the service drop, main panel, breakers, grounding, and branch wiring. We test a representative number of outlets, switches, and fixtures, looking specifically for GFCI protection in wet areas.
Plumbing
We check supply lines, waste pipes, vents, water heaters, and fixture operation. We run water for extended periods to check for leaks and test functional flow (pressure) by running multiple fixtures at once.
Attic & Insulation
The attic reveals much about a home. We assess insulation depth (critical for energy bills), ventilation (soffit/ridge vents), and check the underside of the roof deck for historic or active water intrusion stains.

The Report & Closing
How soon will I receive the inspection report?
We know your due diligence period is short. You will receive a comprehensive, digital report with high-resolution photos and video within 24 hours of the inspection completion. It is mobile-friendly and easy to share with your agent.
Can I use the report to negotiate repairs?
Absolutely. The report distinguishes between major defects, safety hazards, and minor maintenance. You can use this objective data to ask the seller for repairs or a price reduction. Many clients save thousands of dollars based on our findings.
What if the inspection reveals major problems?
Don’t panic. Everything can be fixed; it’s just a matter of cost. We help you understand the severity of the issues so you can make a business decision. You can ask for repairs, credits, or—if the problems are too big—walk away from the deal.
Do you offer Pre-Listing inspections for sellers?
Yes! A ‘Move-In Ready’ inspection helps sellers find and fix issues before a buyer ever steps foot in the door. This prevents deal-killing surprises and leads to smoother, faster closings.
Lafayette Specific Defects
How does Lafayette's climate affect home inspections?
What specific foundation issues do you look for in Louisiana soil?
How do you assess roof integrity against hurricane risks?
We check for loose or missing shingles, proper fastener patterns, and the condition of flashing. We also check for hurricane clips in the attic to ensure the roof is tied down properly. In hurricane zones, the roof is your primary shield, so we inspect it thoroughly.
Why is humidity control critical in the HVAC inspection?
What electrical safety standards do you verify?
Logistics & Services
Can I attend the inspection?
Yes, we encourage you to attend the final walkthrough (usually the last 30-45 minutes). This allows us to show you the findings in person and explain how your new home works. Seeing a defect is much clearer than just reading about it.
How long does a home inspection take?
Depending on the size and age of the home, a thorough inspection typically takes between 2 to 4 hours. Older, historic homes or large estates may take longer due to the complexity of their systems.
Do you check for termites and pests?
Do I need an inspection if I'm not buying or selling?
It’s a great idea for maintenance. A check-up every 2-3 years helps you catch small leaks or roofing issues before they become major insurance claims. Think of it as a physical exam for your biggest asset.
