THE INSPECTION/REPORT:
PRO Home Inspection & Claims Service, Inc. utilizes a computer generated report that is provided to you at the conclusion of the inspection. No waiting and wondering about the condition of the property. You have the answers you need immediately upon completion of the inspection. At the same time you have an opportunity to take a walk-thru with the inspector wherein he will visually identify many items noted in the report and answer any questions you may have concerning it.
Our inspections usually require a minimum of 2 hours to complete with more time required for older and/or larger homes. We are able to inspect crawl areas for homes that have raised foundations, as well as swimming pools and/or spas. Each inspection covers the specific areas listed below, as applicable to the property.

WALK-THRU:
A walk-thru is the Client’s opportunity to “tour” the home with the inspector. During the walk-thru we visually identify many items noted in the report. This is a time for sharing information and answering questions. Everything discussed during a walk-thru is included in the report, so if the Client is unable attend the walk-thru, the report will still speak for itself. Digital color photographs are hand delivered or mailed within three business days of the inspection and provide a visual reminder of some of the findings noted in the report.
