What does the ValueGuard home inspection cover?

Starting at the exterior of the property, the ValueGuard home inspector will visually inspect the roof, flashing, chimneys, gutters, and downspouts. The inspector will then inspect the siding, trim, windows, doors, decks, walkways and driveways. Drainage issues, retaining walls and patios will be inspected as to any negative impact that they may pose on the building.

After the home inspector has completed his survey of the exterior he will inspect the visible framing members in the attic and basement for signs of structural defects and prior repairs.

The inspector will also visually inspect the electrical system, the heating and cooling systems, the plumbing, insulation, and major appliances. While these areas are being observed the inspector will note any material defects in the interior components of the home.

In addition to noting any visible material defects, throughout the inspection, the home inspector will explain how the various systems of the home operate and give you information on how to maintain the home. It is a good idea to bring a pad of paper and any questions that you may have to the inspection so the inspector can address your concerns during the on-site walk-through.

What type of inspection report is provided after your home inspection?

All ValueGuard home and condo inspections are followed-up by a comprehensive written report that itemizes all of the information gathered at the time of inspection. Your inspection report will highlight the major concerns, safety issues, repair items, areas of improvement and items to monitor.  Color photographs are included of the areas of concern.  Your report is emailed the next business.

Contrary to what many people think, new homes should be inspected regardless of whether they will be conveyed with a builder's warranty.  Our inspectors routinely observe structural, heating, cooling, roofing, exterior, plumbing, and interior material defects in new homes that go unnoticed by both the builder and buyer until they become a significant problem. The inspector will inspect the exterior, roof, gutters, chimneys, flashing, siding, trim, doors and site. He will also inspect the finished heating, cooling, electrical, plumbing and interior systems.  A ValueGuard comprehensive written report is supplied that generally ranges form 20 - 30 pages.

For most people, buying a home is the single largest purchase ever made. Let one of our highly trained inspectors help protect your interests in your new home.

11 Month Inspection - Prior to Builder's Warranty Expiration

ValueGuard will perform a full inspection of the property and report any issues that should be brought to the builder's attention prior to the lapse of the builder's warranty.  This inspection is performed just prior to the end of the 1 year builder's warranty.

You cannot see, smell or taste Radon; however, it may be a problem in your NJ home or a property you are purchasing. Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the natural breakdown of uranium is solid and rock. This gas moves through the earth and enters buildings through cracks and/or holes in foundations and floors and accumulates. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Surgeon General have identified Radon gas as the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Living in a home with elevated radon readings for a long period of time significantly increases your chances of contracting the disease. The risk is even more pronounced if you smoke or have ever smoked. The only way to determine if you are at risk from Radon is to perform testing. The EPA and Surgeon General recommend testing for all homes below the third floor for Radon. The EPA also recommends that all schools be tested. However, since Radon can get into any building, it is certainly advisable to test office and other buildings as well.  If requested, ValueGuard will arrange to have your NJ home tested for radon if you schedule a home inspection with us.  Call us at 856-429-4188 to schedule your NJ radon test.

ValueGuard will assist you in scheduling an appointment with licensed WDI specialists to perform comprehensive inspections for termites, carpenter ant and the other wood destroying insects when you schedule a home inspection.  Call us at 856-429-4188.
