Well Inspection
You’ll likely only have to worry about a well inspection if you’re purchasing a home in a more rural area. Many rural homes aren’t connected to public water services. This means should anything go wrong, you won’t receive help from the city. You’re on your own for any repairs or added filtration systems. The well inspection will ensure the water is safe to use and won’t cause any health hazards. The inspection will also reveal if the well holds enough water to properly service your home.
-
Sewer Scope
A trained, professional inspector will run a specialized, flexible borescope camera, which feeds images and video to a monitor. Then, this camera is run through your home’s drainpipe, to examine the sewer lines and other underground pipes for any flaws, imperfections, or serious problems. This privately-owned pipeline leads from the house to the publicly owned main sewer line or septic tank. Sewer scope inspection can reveal damage to the pipes, blockages, and other problems. It also can spot potential problem areas before they develop into serious issues or hazards.
-
Septic Inspections
These systems treat and dispose of wastewater from your toilet, shower, sinks, and washing goods. Although they are designed for long-term durability, structural problems in the septic system can occur, with common problems including blockages in plumbing or clogged sections of drainfield. Unfortunately, despite the health implications of living around a malfunctioning septic system, the septic tank is often overlooked when it comes to home maintenance and repair identification.
-
Infrared Thermal Imaging
A thermal imaging inspection involves using a FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared) camera, Infrared Camera (IR), or videos to check the outside or inside of a building or home. It looks for water and moisture that may be inside the walls. This is an area an inspector cannot see without opening up the walls or without using this type of technology. This also makes a home inspection even better because an inspector will notice that something is happening in the home, be able to report it appropriately, and investigate more.
