What to Expect From Your Inspection

If you are in need of a home inspection in Connecticut or New York, Certified Hut is here to help. Whether you need a termite inspection, a pre-listing inspection, or you just are interested in a home inspection to ensure proper maintenance of your current home, you can trust me to deliver excellent services.

I am always here to help, and ensure that you are aware of any potential issues with your current home, or a home that you’re interested in purchasing.

I am focused on education, and my goal is to provide you with all of the information you need about the property and its overall condition. I welcome my clients to walk through the home with me and to ask any questions they may have throughout the inspection process.

Certified Hut has a thorough, multi-point checklist that ensures that no stone is left unturned, and I will explain the overall, general condition of the home and its systems to you and your agent after your inspection is complete.

In addition, I will compile a comprehensive Spectora report, delivered online via HTML or PDF format, documenting all of my findings, including images, references, and further details. This report will be available for you both in a desktop-friendly format and a mobile format so that you can stay in-the-loop and check your report even when you’re on the go.

Standards of Practice

Wondering what’s included in a standard home inspection from Certified Hut? Here is a quick overview of the services included in your home inspection, and the major systems that I analyze and assess throughout the process.

Roof
The roof is one of the most costly and important structures. I will examine the roof, its structure, shingles/tiles, flashing, gutters, downspouts and more.
Exterior
This includes the exterior walkways and doors, siding, eaves and soffits, fascia, paint, and other such elements of the home’s exterior.
HVAC
I will visually inspect the HVAC systems including ducts, filters, furnaces and air conditioning units.
Plumbing
I will visually inspect plumbing fixtures for proper function, including tubs, sinks, hoses, showers, and water shut-off valves, and look for leaks and other such flaws.
Electrical Systems
I will visually inspect both interior and exterior electrical systems including service drops, service masts, grounding, outlets, meters, circuit breakers, and other such systems.

Appliances
I will test and examine all major appliances like hot water heaters, washers and dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, and more.
Doors, Windows & Interior
I will check doors and windows for proper sealing and drafts, signs of mold or water damage, and more. I will also check the condition of all interior spaces.
Foundations, Basements and Crawl Spaces
I will examine the foundation, crawlspaces and basements to look for signs of things like past water damage, foundation cracking or shifting, and other such potentially expensive issues.
Attic, Ventilation & Insulation
I will examine the attic to ensure it is properly ventilated, check for mold and moisture, assess the level of insulation, and more.
