Home Inspections


I
t's easy to make sure the home you've chosen is a smart buy. By having a home inspection, the home's vital systems are checked. A home inspection allows you to purchase your home with confidence. Char's Team will help you set one up after you have chosen the home you like. Char's Team recommends the following minimum standards when choosing an inspector:

1. Membership in ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors) and adherence to its standards of practice and code of ethics

2. A written report at the time of inspection

Items on your inspection report will include:

Foundations, Basements, and Structures, Basement floor and walls, proper drainage and ventilation, evidence of water seepage
