Review Your Home Inspection Report
We will send your report within 24 hours of the inspection.
Whether you are buying, selling, or maintaining your home, Fox Home Check provides professional and quality service from the moment you call us. Our certified home inspector will provide a detailed home inspection report, and walk though your home with you to explain how the various systems work. He will provide some history, based on his observations during the inspection and explain how issues may have evolved.
As we walk through the home together, we will explain the general condition of the home and systems with you and your agent. We will talk through any major issues that pose a safety concern or could substantially impact the value of your home, and should be addressed immediately. These critical items will be color-coded red and highlighted in the summary of your report. We will also mention the items that you will want to monitor to ensure the potential issue is stable, as well as preemptive measures you can take to help preserve your home, like sealing cracks and improving drainage. All of this will be detailed in our easy-to-read report, which will be delivered in HTML and/or PDF format. From that detailed inspection report, you will be able to see the items we discussed, with images for reference.
