Pre-Home Purchase Inspections in Florida – Adhering to InterNACHI Standards

Buying a home is a major investment, and you deserve to make that decision with confidence. A Pre-Home Purchase Inspection from a certified, experienced inspector is essential to ensure your potential new home is safe, sound, and free from hidden issues. At Intracoastal Home Services, we follow the InterNACHI (National Association of Certified Home Inspectors) Standards of Practice to provide a thorough, professional evaluation of your future home.

What We Inspect:

Our Pre-Purchase Home Inspections follow InterNACHI’s rigorous Standards of Practice to ensure no stone is left unturned. Here's what we inspect:

• Structural Components: We evaluate the foundation, roof, walls, and framing, looking for any visible damage or potential safety hazards.

• Roofing: We inspect the roof for signs of wear, leaks, or damage. We’ll check shingles, flashing, gutters, and the overall condition to ensure proper function.

• Exterior: We assess the siding, trim, windows, and doors to identify any issues related to weatherproofing, damage, or deterioration.

• Interior: We examine the home’s interior, including walls, ceilings, floors, and visible insulation, looking for cracks, signs of moisture, or structural concerns.

• Plumbing: Our inspection covers the main water supply, drainage systems, water heaters, and visible plumbing components for leaks or safety issues.

• Electrical Systems: We check the service panel, outlets, switches, and visible wiring to ensure everything is up to code and safe to use.

• HVAC Systems: We assess the heating, cooling, and ventilation systems for proper operation, including visible components like ducts, furnace, and air conditioning units.

• Attics & Crawlspaces: We inspect these areas for proper insulation, ventilation, signs of moisture or pests, and structural integrity.

• Basements & Foundations: We examine basements or crawlspaces for visible cracks, water damage, or other issues that could affect the structural integrity of the home.

• Termites & Pest Infestation: We inspect for signs of wood-destroying insects or pest damage, which is particularly important in Florida’s climate.
