Our Services Types of Inspections we Perform Residential - Commercial        Homes Condominiums Radon Testing    Mobile Homes  Multi-Unit Complexes Commercial Buildings     Home inspections can help you buy or sell your home with confidence. As trained professionals we have seen it all, and we'll provide invaluable help in turning you into a knowledgeable consumer. Home owners can identify problems in the making and take preventive measures to avoid costly repairs. Sellers can understand conditions the buyer’s inspector may point out and put the property in better selling condition by making repairs. Our inspection services include: Buyers Inspection In both new and older homes, the best way to ensure that you are well informed about the strengths and weaknesses of a property is to have us give you a professional home inspection. We are trained to identify problem areas both small and large that may have been overlooked by the previous owners and to identify which require immediate attention. See our Inspection Overview for more details. Pre-Listing Inspection Whether you are selling your home on your own or using a realtor, it’s always a prudent idea to have a professional home inspection. Knowledge is power. All homes have strengths and weaknesses: we help you answer how serious the problems are and which must be immediately addressed and which can wait. The more you know about your home, the more prepared you will be for negotiation. See our Inspection Overview for more details. Warranty Inspection Most builders provide a one-year warranty for new construction. Generally during this period of time the buyer develops a "punch list" of corrections for the contractor to repair under the warranty coverage. Some defects will not be obvious to the untrained eye. It is prudent to obtain our home inspectors list of items that will most likely be repaired by your builder at no cost to you. You will be reassured knowing that potential problems were addressed before they grew into something that could cost you a great deal down the road. Mobile Home Inspections Mobile Home and Manufactured Home Inspections are performed similarly to a regular home inspection with special attention to it’s uniqueness of design and the requirements of the systems. As always the inspector will take the time to check all the components of the home thoroughly including the crawlspace under the home. Inspection of the crawlspace is included at no additional cost. Multi Unit Complexes Investing in real estate can yield great profits when the right property is chosen. Many multi unit complexes have been rented for years and require extensive repairs. It would be foolish to make such a large investment without prior knowledge of the age and condition of the systems of the property. Buying the wrong property could be disastrous. Have Brighton Inspection help you make an educated decision with a complete inspection of all the units and their shared roofing, structure, plumbing and electrical. We will create a detailed report of the defects, enabling you to know what is required to create a safe and habitable living space for your tenants and avoid litigation and liability. Commercial Buildings Like a home inspection, the inspections of commercial buildings are primarily ordered by the buyer to investigate potentially unknown conditions affecting the property. However, unlike a home inspection, there is greater diversity in the scope of work involved with inspecting a commercial building. Commercial building inspections are often specifically tailored to the type of building being inspected. The property inspector typically works as the lead inspector and project coordinator, enlisting the help of specialists when it is appropriate. Environmental Hazards Our job as your professional home inspector is to alert you, to the extent possible, to unknown problems and potential environmental hazards in your current or potential house. Ours is a non-invasive visual inspection of your property which can alert you to possible problems. See our Environmental Hazards page for more information. We inspect for these hazards: Asbestos: Asbestos material that crumbles easily if sawed, scraped, or sanded into a powder is more likely to create a health hazard because it can be inhaled into the lungs, increasing the risk of disease. See Asbestos FAQ. Lead: Lead is a highly toxic metal that was used for many years in products found in and around our homes. In general, the older a home, the more likely it has lead-based paint. See Lead FAQ. Mold: There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture. Molds can produce allergens, irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances. See Mold FAQ. Radon: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in soils, rock, and water throughout the U.S. Radon is a threat to health because it tends to collect in homes, sometimes to very high concentrations.
