Standard Home Inspection
What’s Included in a Rocky Shores Home Inspection
When you hire Rocky Shores Home Inspection, you aren't just getting a standard walkthrough. You are hiring a Certified InterNACHI Inspector with decades of general contracting experience. I don't just look for "what" is wrong; I explain the "why" and "how" behind it.
Every full residential inspection covers the major systems of the home from the roof to the foundation.
๐ The Exterior & Structure
• Roofing: We inspect the roof covering, gutters, downspouts, vents, flashings, and skylights.
• Structure: A thorough look at the foundation, crawlspace, and structural components to check for settlement or shifting.
• Exterior Walls: Inspecting siding, trim, windows, and doors for proper sealing and weatherproofing (essential for the Newfoundland climate).
• Grading & Drainage: We ensure the ground slopes away from your home to prevent basement moisture.
โก The Vital Systems
• Electrical: We check the service drop, meter, main panels, breakers, and a representative number of outlets and light fixtures to ensure safety and code compliance.
• Plumbing: A full check of the main water shut-off, water heater, interior fixtures, and functional drainage.
• Heating & Cooling (HVAC): We test the furnace/boiler and heat pump systems to ensure they are operating safely and efficiently.
๐ The "Contractor’s Eye" Extras
• Infrared Thermal Imaging (Included): I use advanced thermal cameras to "see through" walls, identifying hidden moisture, missing insulation, or electrical hotspots that the naked eye would miss.
• Attic & Insulation: Checking for proper ventilation and R-values to keep your heating bills low during "The Rock's" harsh winters.
• InterNACHI Standardized Reporting: You will receive a high-definition, easy-to-read digital report within 24 hours of the inspection, complete with photos and clear explanations of every finding.
The Rocky Shores Difference
Most inspectors read a manual; I spent years with a hammer in my hand. I understand the "structural logic" of a home. When I see a crack or a leak, I can tell you if it's a minor maintenance task or a major structural concern.
My goal is simple: To ensure you move into your new home with total confidence.
