| Structure.
The structure of the home is what gives it shape and strength. The
most commonly asked questions of a professional home inspector are
related to evaluating the condition of the structure. The two main
components of the structure are the foundation and the framing system.
Each of these components are critical in providing the building with
long lasting comfort and stability. Major defects in the structure
can be very expensive and extensive to repair. MORE

| Mechanicals.
The mechanical systems of the dwelling are designed to provide a
comfortable and safe living environment. Each system has many components
and there are many types of each system. An inspector's skills and
experience are used to evaluate the safe operational condition of
each system and to report any defects discovered. The mechanical
systems encompass the entire dwelling and exterior portions. Your
inspector's unique training, skills and experience will separate
him in these areas from un-trained or inexperienced inspectors. MORE

| Roofing.
The roof is part of the exterior but requires more individual attention.
It is designed to protect all the components of the dwelling. There
are many roof styles and finished materials. Each style and material
is inspected carefully for, wear, leaks, defects and other deficiencies.
Roofing problems that go undetected can cause serious harm to other
components of the building. Styles and types of roofs are dictated
by location, age, and preference. MORE

| Mold
Information. What is mold? Molds are simple, microscopic organisms
found virtually everywhere indoors and outdoors. Molds can be found
on plants, foods, dry leaves and other organic material. Molds
are needed for breaking down dead material. Mold spores are very
tiny and lightweight, which allows them to travel through the air.
Mold growths can often be seen in the form of discoloration, ranging
from white to orange and from green to brown and black. When molds
are present in large quantities, they can cause allergic symptoms
similar to those caused by plant pollen. MORE
