Review Your Home Inspection Report
I will send your report within the next day of the inspection.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining your home, your inspection with BK’s Home Inspections delivers professional, high-quality service from the first call to the final report. As a state-licensed home inspector, I’ll walk through your home with you, explaining systems and answering questions along the way. I follow the strict standards of practice set by the North Carolina Home Inspector Licensure Board—focusing on function and safety rather than cosmetic issues—to ensure your inspection provides clarity and confidence.
After we complete your inspection, I’ll review the overall condition of the home and its systems with you and your agent. We’ll discuss any major issues that may need immediate attention, as well as items to monitor for future maintenance. All of this will be clearly detailed in your inspection report—an easy-to-read Spectora report delivered in HTML and/or PDF format. The report includes photos and notes for reference, making it simple to understand everything we covered during your inspection.
Exterior
I thoroughly inspect the home’s exterior from multiple perspectives to evaluate the condition of the siding, foundation, roof, and surrounding areas.
Roof
The roof is one of the most critical and costly structures of your home. I will inspect its components—structure, shingles, flashing, gutters, and downspouts—to identify potential issues before they become costly problems.
HVAC
I will inspect your HVAC system, including the heating units, cooling units, duct systems, and filters, to ensure they are functioning efficiently and safely. My thorough assessment will help identify any issues that could impact your system’s effectiveness and longevity.
Plumbing
I will inspect plumbing fixtures—sinks, showers, tubs, and hoses—for proper function, checking for leaks, water damage, or any other issues that could lead to costly repairs.
Electrical Systems
I will inspect the electrical system, including service panels and branch circuits, for deficiencies such as improper grounding and missing safety features like ground-fault and arc-fault circuit interrupters. This ensures your electrical components meet essential safety standard
Appliances
I conduct thorough inspections of built in appliances including dishwasher, range, oven, built in microwave, and exhaust systems, checking for operational efficiency and any safety concerns.
Doors, Windows & Interior
I will check doors and windows for proper sealing, drafts, signs of water damage, and operation.
Foundations, Basements & Crawl Spaces
I will examine the foundation, basements, and crawlspaces for signs of water damage, cracks, or shifting—issues that can affect your home’s structural integrity and lead to costly repairs.
Attic, Ventilation & Insulation
I will inspect the attic for proper ventilation and moisture. We’ll also assess the insulation levels to ensure they are adequate for maintaining the building’s envelope.
