WHY GET A HOME INSPECTION ?
|
Home inspections can uncover potentially life-threatening problems like mold or faulty wiring that could cause a significant fire. Our home inspectors observe and review any health and safety hazards. Without this, you may not be aware of any dangerous conditions. Issues such as outdated electrical wiring, deteriorating pipes or structural damage such as a cracked foundation that can put your home at a serious risk.
Your home is likely the largest purchase you will ever make and it’s important you make an informed decision. With First Class Home Inspection, our professional home inspectors thoroughly review the major elements and systems of a home. We provide an objective look at the house and document the findings for your analysis. |
