Nashville Home Inspection

When that special day comes for you to buy a new home, many banks and local governments require that you have the home inspected by a professional. This home inspection must be done by a professional that must be licensed within the field. Terry Brewer is a licensed home inspector in Nashville. Terry has many years of experience in construction and knows the industry inside and out.

Terry will assure you that your home is inspected thoroughly. A decision without bias is what all potential new home owners are looking for. A typical home inspection will involve inspecting many items in and outside of the home.

The outside is a major point of inspection of the home. The inspector must make sure that the shingles aren't curling, the gutters are all secured, if there is moss build up on the roof, any other blistering or other signs of wear. The inspector must also look for any plants around the home that may disturb the foundation at one point or if there is a possible dead limb hanging over the home. Paint can play a factor in deciding if the property is up to date. If there is any paint chipping off or cracked caulking is certain areas the inspector will take note. Another point the inspector must look at is the grade and slope of the surrounding topsoil. All these points will take effect in the outside inspection decision.

The inside inspection of the home is much more detailed. We will look at inspection points from top to bottom here. The attic will need to be evaluated to see if the trusses are strong enough. If there are any weak points, these issues need to be addressed. The attic must also be inspected for any leaks from the roof, proper ventilation and insulated correctly. Inside the home, the inspector will look for drafty windows and doors. The inspector will also look at the bathroom and note if it's properly caulked and up to code with the plumbing fixtures. Vents in a home will also be looked at to see if they are working properly. An inspector will also take note if he sees any water stains, bad electrical outlets, improper wiring and any other detail that they think needs updating on. The basement will also be inspected and investigated that there are no leaks, no cracks in the foundation, termite damage, rotted wood or any other point that may cause concern.

The bottom line is that Terry is a great inspector and will make sure the home you are looking to purchase will be a valuable investment for years to come. Not only will he make sure the house is safe to live in, but will also bring up any concerns he does have concerning the property.
