We assess the home’s exterior roofing, counting the number of layers (if accessible) looking at the condition of the shingles, and determining the approximate age of the roof.

We examine all accessible structural components of the basement and attic for signs of alteration.

We check the furnace or boiler for proper operation and signs of recent maintenance or service.

We evaluate the home’s overall water pressure and drainage. And we examine all accessible water supply pipes, drains, and fixtures for signs of leakage.

We determine the amperage and voltage of the home’s electrical system, examining the electrical panel for overcrowding, corrosion, and safety hazards.

We check all windows for proper operation, damaged glass or framing, broken thermal seals, and overall efficiency.
