Pre-Listing Inspection
Save Money, Make an Impression
Buyers use home inspections to provide them with two things: peace of mind and as leverage to reduce the price of your home prior to closing. By having your home inspected prior to listing it, you are uncovering any issues that need to be addressed and providing peace of mind and hassle free contract negotiations between yourself and the buyer.
Walkthrough Consultation
Waiving Your Right to a Home Inspection?
While we highly recommend not to do this, we certainly understand in today’s crazy seller’s market the reason for doing so. We will meet you and your agent at the showing to do an onsite consultation after walking through and around the property. Call for more info!
Wood Infestation Reports
Need a Wood Infestation Report?
We’ve partnered with one of the premier locally owned companies in the area to provide our clients with a detailed, thorough Wood Infestation Report, also known as a Termite Letter.
Sewer Drain Inspections
Uncover Buried Defects
Need a visual inspection of the sewage drain line leading from the structure to the public or private sewer system? We’ve partnered with a leading locally owned company that will not only provide a written report but also photos and video of the condition of the drain line.
Mold Testing
GOT MOLD?
We have partnered with a locally owned environmental company to perform mold testing and provide you with a detailed report.
Annual Maintenance Inspections
Keep Your Home In Tip Top Shape
By having an annual maintenance inspection you are making sure your largest investment is being kept in Tip Top shape! Although not as exhaustive as a standard home inspection, the main structural components of your house are inspected. Catching items sooner than later can add up to big savings!
Re-Inspections
Personalized Approach
If our inspection of a home uncovered defective components or urgent maintenance needs, we recommend scheduling a Re-Inspection after the seller of the home has remedied the issues. We’ll return to the property to take a second look at the components in question, ensuring that improvements have been correctly completed.
Radon Testing
Timely, Lab Analyzed Results
Radon is an invisible, odorless, and radioactive gas that naturally occurs in the soil and can accumulate into dangerous levels inside your home. It is also the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Testing for radon gas is an absolute must in the area we serve. You can trust Tip Top to follow recommended scientific protocols when testing and to deliver quick lab results once completed.
Drone Roof Inspections
If We Can’t See Your Roof We’ll Drone It!
One of the most important things to be inspected is a roof. While most inspectors use binoculars if they can’t get safely on a roof, some portions of it may still be unviewable. If we can’t see every portion of your roof, we’ll drone it in UHD!
