Foundation

This inspection is performed after trenches or footers have been dug and all metal and pipe casings and/or liners have been put into place, but before pouring concrete.

• All known plan measurements of depth and width of footings are verified.

• All metal- rebars, beams, tension cables, etc.- are inspected for proper placement and

     connections.

• All known pipe and sleeve measurements are verified for proper placement.

Pre-Drywall

This inspection is performed prior to drywall or other interior wall covering is installed.
• Inspect for defective, warped, missing and misplaced framing members

• Inspect for proper wood grades, placement, span measurement, notching,

     borings, and truss usage.

• Inspect anchor bolts, fire blocking and truss ties

• Inspect framing fasteners and connectors for proper schedules
• Visually inspect the electrical wires and plumbing installed through the

     framing system including proper nail stop protection

• Check exterior walls, sheeting seal, wall penetrations, windows and sealants
• Visually check exterior electrical and lighting fixtures

This inspection is conducted when all construction is complete. This is basically the same inspection we do on all houses new or used. On new houses, it must be coordinated with the builder's schedule to be sure all systems are complete and ready for occupation. It should be completed before closing with enough time remaining to accomplish any necessary repairs.

It is the final inspection to verify that all Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing systems are installed and operating as intended including, but not limited to:

• Full home inspection meeting or exceeding all requirements of the Standard of Practice

    as delineated by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC)
• Inspect the Structure including: Foundation, Grading and Drainage, Roof Covering,

     Roof Structure and Attic, Walls (interior and exterior), Ceilings and Floors, Doors,

     Windows, Fireplace/Chimney, Porches, Decks, Driveways, Carports
• Inspect Electrical Systems including: Service Entrance & Panels, Branch Circuits,

     Outlets, Switches, Fixtures, Disconnects, GFCI's
• Inspect Heating, Venting and Air Conditioning Systems, Ducts
• Inspect Water Supply System, Fixtures, Drains, Wastes Vents,

     and Water Heating Equipment.
• Inspect built in Appliances, and other Optional Systems

The "final" inspection is the type of inspections that is done when we are asked to do an "inspection". We can only tell you what we can see, touch, or test. We cannot see through concrete or walls. When you buy a completed house, whether "New" or "Used", this is the only type inspection that can be accomplished without destruction of the media (drywall, concrete, etc.) that obstructs our vision.
