Home Inspections

We offer the most comprehensive home inspection service available.

We start at the roof and evaluate not only the roof surface, but also the chimney, the ventilation system, the electrical service entrance, the plumbing stack, and any other systems or components located on the roof.

Our next step is to inspect the exterior of the home. We use a macro and micro approach to look at both the big picture and all the details.

We then move inside the house, and starting at the bottom, work our way up through the home into the attic. While inside, we address such things as the structure, the heating and cooling systems, the electrical and plumbing systems, the interior finishes, the insulation and ventilation, and accessories such as fireplaces.

Our evaluation is then communicated through a detailed inspection report, which includes descriptions of all the systems in the home, as well as any recommended improvements. This will help you prioritize the improvements and develop a blueprint for your future in the home.

Best of all, our services don’t end with the inspection. For as long as you own the home, you can call with any additional questions — at no extra charge!

Commercial Inspection

A commercial inspection is a thorough evaluation of a building’s structure, systems, and safety features to assess its current condition and identify potential risks or maintenance needs. At SlabRiver, our inspections are guided by industry standards and enhanced by our team's public safety and life safety background.

During a commercial inspection, we evaluate:

• Structural Components: Foundations, walls, roof systems, and framing are checked for signs of wear, damage, or deficiencies.

• Mechanical Systems: HVAC units, plumbing, and electrical systems are examined to ensure they are functioning properly and safely.

• Fire & Life Safety Systems: We inspect fire alarms, sprinkler systems, extinguishers, exit routes, and emergency lighting, ensuring compliance with safety codes and regulations.

• Interior & Exterior Conditions: We assess windows, doors, flooring, ceilings, parking lots, and exterior facades for maintenance needs or hazards.

• Roofing Systems: Inspected for condition, age, drainage, and signs of leaks or damage.

• Accessibility Compliance: Evaluation of ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance, including ramps, signage, and accessible entrances/exits.

• Environmental Hazards: Identifying visible issues like mold, water intrusion, or conditions that could lead to indoor air quality concerns.

Once the inspection is complete, we provide a detailed report that includes:

• High-resolution photos

• Descriptions of findings

• Code-related concerns

• Recommended corrective actions

• Priority levels for repairs or upgrades

Our goal is to give property owners, managers, investors, and tenants the information they need to make informed decisions with safety and longevity in mind.
