Questions and Answers
What is included in your standard home inspection in Columbus?
Our residential inspection provides a thorough assessment of the home's major systems, including foundation, roof, plumbing, and electrical. We utilize tools like thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to identify issues that may not be visible to the naked eye. As a licensed ICC Residential Combination Code Inspector, Jonathan also brings a deep understanding of building standards. You'll receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report within 24 hours, giving you the information needed to make a decision during your inspection period.
Can you inspect older or historic homes common in the Columbus area?
Absolutely. My background in new construction with Centex Homes, combined with my Master's degree in Classics, gives me a unique appreciation for both modern building science and the character of older homes. I understand the specific concerns that can arise with aging systems and materials. The inspection process is tailored to the property, focusing on safety, function, and preservation, so you know exactly what you're buying and how to care for it.
My electricity bills are high, and my AC struggles. Can an inspection help?
Yes, this is a common issue we address for Columbus homeowners. Our HVAC assessment goes beyond just checking if the system turns on. Using thermal imaging, we can identify poor insulation, duct leaks, and heat loss that force your system to work harder. We also evaluate the system's age, condition, and whether it's properly sized for the home—a frequent cause of high bills and poor performance. Our report will outline specific findings and recommended next steps to improve efficiency and comfort.
