pricing reflects SFHA Home Inspection is a visual inspection of all accessible exterior and interior structural and mechanical systems of the home, including:
Roof*, Foundation, Interior + Exterior Structure, Plumbing, Electrical, Heating/Cooling, Major Appliances
Inspectors carry 13 ft ladder. If they cannot safely access the roof due to height, pitch, or weather, they use binoculars. An inspection of a flat roof that we can't access w/ 13 ft. ladder is outside the scope of our inspection. A roofing specialist is recommended in these instances.
Fireplaces are included in our Home Inspection, but we are not fireplace specialists. We recommend hiring a specialist for a more detailed chimney inspection.

I DON’T KNOW IF IT’S ACTIVE: A tank search inspection will show if there is a buried tank on the property and determine whether the tank is actively in use.
