General Home & Property Inspection Services Near Boise, ID
Premium Property Inspections offers major systems inspections conducted by our team of experts. Major systems inspections are more of a bare-bones service, as we focus our attention on the critical points in the home rather than every detail.
Major systems inspection components include: - Rooftop: The roof is the first defense against the elements and also plays a role in deflecting heat. Making sure your rooftop is in good condition maximizes energy efficiency and prevents costly damage.
- Attics: In addition to being a handy storage space, attics act as a pocket of air that keeps your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Inspections can identify air leaks and ventilation issues.
- Crawl space: Most homeowners don’t think too much about their crawl spaces, but they are a crucial structural element of the home. Inspections can illuminate sagging beams, cracks, decayed wood, or inadequate support, which are all issues that need to be addressed.
- Basement: Basements are among the first parts of a home to show flooding issues, which can be caused by anything from a burst pipe to excess precipitation to poor yard drainage.
- Electric panel: Undetected wiring issues, overloaded circuits, and outdated components are all problems that can be fire hazards. These are all preventable problems that can be circumvented by an inspection.
- Furnace: A furnace inspection can identify the condition, performance, and function of the heating system. Carbon monoxide leaks are a potential issue that can be prevented by regularly keeping up with furnace maintenance.
- Air conditioning unit: Especially in a city like Boise where we experience various extremes in temperature, making sure that your AC is working properly is a must! Summer is awfully long when your house can't maintain a reasonable temperature.
- Water heater: Water heater inspections can identify sediment buildup, corrosion, and any faulty parts that may escalate to costly issues if left unchecked.
- Exposed & visible piping systems: Piping, too, is susceptible to corrosion, leaks, blockage, and deterioration. Identifying these issues early on allows for maintenance and repairs before these issues escalate.
- Toilets, tubs, and showers: Cracks, leaks, and components that are not working properly may lead to water waste, which in turn leads to higher utility bills. An inspection can identify these and other potential problems.
While there may be many repair and clean-up services that can swoop in when a major problem occurs in one of these systems, property owners can make smarter, more financially viable decisions when they approach these problems before they become emergencies. When plumbing breaks and you're forced to pay attention quickly, you're likely to pay higher rates for less thorough repairs than if you can plan and execute your repairs based on the information from a timely home inspection.
