A Las Vegas home inspection is a visual evaluation and assessment of all the exterior and interior structural and mechanical systems, components and parts found throughout the home. Your Las vegas home inspector looks for items that are not performing as intended or designed, or which do not respond to normal operating controls. Our Home Inspectors in Las vegas observe, test or operate safety devices, appliances, AC and furnace, faucets and plumbing fixtures, electrical outlets and visible electrical systems and components including panels, switches and light fixtures. Emphasis is given to issues that affect life safety. 

When we conduct a home inspection we always recommend that the buyer be present, but we also realize that's not always possible. If you are present during the home inspection process, you will see what I see, if you are not present the the home inspection report will contain all the issues identified. The home inspector will include all the information with digital images and a narrative about issues detected. The home inspection report you receive is like an owners manual and serves as an excellent baseline and future reference document. Details and specifications on the home's systems and components are organized for easy reference and provided in clear, concise, easy-to-understand terms. Each section provides an accurate description of the homes true and present condition. Your las Vegas home inspector will have recommendations for repair, replacement or upgrade (if needed) written so that a tradesmen or specialty contractor can quickly assess and prepare for any repair issues. We realize that the home inspection may be the only opportunity you have to learn about your home.

We will ask that all utilities be on, and all areas be accessible on the day of the home inspection so that all items may be inspected.
