What Is a Home Maintenance Inspection?

A home maintenance inspection covers all the main systems of your home. In fact, it’s the same inspection you order when purchasing or selling a home. Here’s the difference. A home maintenance inspection will flag problems with the walls, roof, foundation, electrical, HVAC, and plumbing systems so that you can make the necessary repairs.

There are many instances where homeowners might not notice a problem, but a qualified inspector can recognize small signs that, left unaddressed, can lead to major damage. This includes uneven wear, small cracks, or appliances near the end of their useful lives.

What To Expect During a Home Maintenance Inspection?

Cal-West Property Inspections will appoint an inspector to walk through your home. Our licensed professionals point out anything that they find amiss that requires your attention. You can ask questions regarding any issues that may arise. Typically, our inspectors can also help you develop a checklist of things you can do to keep your home systems functioning optimally.

Following the inspection, you’ll receive a written report within a few days. You can create a to-do list of maintenance tasks that will improve the look, functionality, and value of your home.

Who Needs a Home Maintenance Inspection?

We recommend having a home maintenance inspection every three to five years. This is essential for older homes, but newer homes can also benefit from this service. Regular inspections can prevent small problems from becoming larger ones. For example, if you have a crack in your foundation, water incursion can create significant damage in just a few years. However, if one of our inspectors finds the issue, you have time to fix it before it becomes an expensive maintenance job.

Additionally, an inspector provides a completely truthful opinion. Since we don’t perform maintenance services, you can count on us to give you a professional opinion with your interests, and your interests alone, in mind. Your home inspector won’t try to sell you anything and doesn’t make any money if you do need repairs.

Who Conducts Home Maintenance Inspections?

We use the same inspectors to perform buyer and seller home inspections and home maintenance inspections. Rest assured that the professional who comes to your home will have many years of experience and the proper qualifications to give you the best possible feedback in prioritizing home repairs.

How much you pay will depend on the size of the home, among other considerations. In any case, home maintenance inspections can save hundreds or thousands of dollars. Similar to home buyer inspections in San Diego, home maintenance inspections are designed to provide feedback on any possible defects of the property.

Cal-West Property Inspections is your one-stop-shop when it comes to all types of home inspections, including seller, buyer, home maintenance inspections, and related services.

Keep Your Family Safe

Isn’t that the most basic reason we live in homes instead of out in the wild, to keep us and our family safe from the elements and dangers around us. However, a home that is not properly maintained can lead to safety issues that can be fatal. Gas burning appliances produce Carbon Monoxide which is deadly if not properly vented to the exterior of your home. Improper electrical wiring from unlicensed contractors or homeowner handyman projects can lead to deadly fires. A home inspection from the experts a Cal-West Property Inspections can identify potential hazards like these along with many others. The sad thing about most fatal home accidents is that they typically could have been easily identified and prevented with very little cost to the homeowner. Often times correcting the problem is so simple its just not worth putting it off when the consequences are so high.

Prevent Excessive Repair Costs

Home maintenance items that are deferred for too long can lead to excessive cost when they need to be addressed in an emergency. Contractors are known for capitalizing on opportune moments when homeowners have no other options than to pay a premium when a critical appliance like a water heater or furnace stop working due to deferred maintenance or end of life failures.
