What We Inspect

Icon Home Inspectors conducts comprehensive inspections covering all critical aspects of a home to ensure it meets safety and quality standards. Our certified inspectors meticulously evaluate the structural integrity of the property, examining the foundation, walls, roof, and attic for any signs of damage or wear. We also inspect the exterior of the home, including the siding, windows, doors, and drainage systems, to identify potential issues that could affect the home’s longevity and curb appeal.

In addition to structural components, our inspections include a thorough assessment of the home’s major systems. This involves checking the HVAC system to ensure it operates efficiently and safely, evaluating the plumbing for leaks, corrosion, and proper function, and inspecting the electrical system for safety hazards and code compliance. We also examine the insulation and ventilation in the attic and crawl spaces to verify that they provide adequate thermal protection and airflow.

Our inspections extend to the interior of the home, where we scrutinize the condition of floors, ceilings, walls, and stairways, ensuring that all components are in good repair and free from hazards. We test the functionality of built-in appliances and fixtures, such as water heaters, stoves, and garbage disposals, to confirm they are operating correctly. Additionally, we assess the safety features of the home, including smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and fire extinguishers, ensuring they are present and in working order.

Icon Home Inspectors also pays close attention to potential environmental hazards. We look for signs of mold, asbestos, and lead-based paint, particularly in older homes where these issues are more common. By identifying these risks, we help homeowners take necessary steps to mitigate potential health hazards.

Each inspection concludes with a detailed report that outlines our findings, complete with photographs and actionable recommendations. This report provides homeowners with a clear understanding of the property’s condition, empowering them to make informed decisions about maintenance, repairs, and potential improvements. Our comprehensive approach ensures that no detail is overlooked, providing peace of mind and confidence in the safety and quality of their home.
