Component Inspections

Occasionally, a customer wants an inspection of an individual component such as a roof or foundation, rather than the entire home. Although we encourage the customer to gain as much knowledge about the home as possible, we are willing to do partial inspections based on customer needs. Contact us today to discuss your needs. 

Pest Inspectionsgraphic showing a bug trying to get into a house

During inspections we sometimes see evidence of pests. We look for wood destroying insects, hornet nesting, and mice or bats in the attic or crawl space. If you are getting a VA or FHA mortgage, a pest or wood destroying insect inspection may be required. ValueCheck has the certification to perform this inspection and provide the report required by special loan programs.
