REQUEST INSPECTION

Pre-Listing Inspection

Before you put your home on the market, this inspection allows you to catch anything that might be found in a buyer’s inspection and to address it before it is discovered by a potential buyer and compromises the sale.

New Construction Inspection

A new construction inspection is an invaluable service if you want to avoid problems that could go undetected for years once your new home has been completed. This inspection occurs before the final walk-through with the builder to give you the opportunity to address any deficiencies before they turn into bigger problems.

Home Warranty Inspection

Typically, a homebuilder will provide a one-year warranty that covers certain work and material defects. A home warranty inspection is usually conducted in the 11^th month to make sure your builder has time to fix problems discovered during the inspection before your warranty runs out.

New Construction Phase Inspection

There are three opportunities during the building cycle where Appalachian Inspection Services can evaluate and report on the workmanship and construction of your new home to ensure that major construction defects within your home are not covered up. The standard 3 phase inspection process includes these components, implemented at three different times:

The Pre-Pour Inspection is conducted prior to the concrete being poured.
The Framing Inspection takes place prior to the installation of the interior walls and insulation.
The Final Inspection takes place after the home is nearly complete, usually just before your final walk-through with your builder.

Water Testing

Water testing ensures the safety and quality of your drinking water. With our expertise and advanced equipment, we can identify any potential issues with your water supply. This will give you peace of mind and the chance to address any problems promptly.

Home Maintenance Inspection

A yearly Home Maintenance Inspection helps you detect problems early so you can make immediate repairs where needed and identify items to fix in the future. It’s a great way to keep up with home maintenance projects for as long as you live in your home.

Radon Testing

Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that can only be detected by having your home tested. When present at dangerous levels, radon can cause major health problems. In fact, it’s the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. A test can help put your mind at ease and protect the members of your household.

Mold Testing

Mold can be a hidden threat, causing not only structural damage but also potential health risks for you and your loved ones. With our comprehensive testing and thorough inspection, we ensure that your living environment is safe, healthy, and mold-free.

Well and Septic Inspections

As experts in home maintenance, we recommend well and septic inspections to ensure the proper functioning of these crucial systems. A third-party inspection can help detect any potential issues early on, allowing you to make immediate repairs and plan for future maintenance projects.

Third-Party WDI Pest Inspections

Wood-Destroying Insect inspections are crucial for homeowners and buyers alike. These inspections detect termites, carpenter ants, and other destructive pests early, preventing costly structural damage and safeguarding property value.

DIGITAL REPORTS

STRAIGHT TO YOUR INBOX

All Appalachian inspections include an electronic report with numerous expandable photos that is easy to view on any type of computer or mobile device. The report includes a Create Request List Create Request List (CRL) link that is particularly useful in sharing information about requested repairs or items that need to be replaced between all involved parties.
