Apogee Complete Home Inspection
In a Complete Home Inspection, we’ll conduct a thorough evaluation of most visible and readily accessible areas of a residential property. If the roofing system is tough to access, we’ll still get the job done—a remotely-operated drone equipped with a high-resolution camera allows us to examine a roof even if we’re unable to walk it safely.
Areas of a property that we’ll inspect include:
- Roofing System
- Exterior (doors, windows, cladding)
- Foundation & Crawl Space
- Basement
- Attached Garage
- Driveway
- Deck, Porch, & Patio
- Interior (doors, windows, floors, walls, ceilings, stairs)
- Fireplace & Chimney
- HVAC Systems
- Electrical System
- Plumbing System
- Built-in Kitchen Appliances
- Attic, Ventilation, & Insulation
Additional Inspection Services
Pre-Listing Inspection
When you have a property inspected before putting it on the market, you stand to benefit in several ways. First, you’re able to address any pressing issues and more accurately assess the value of the home. By receiving a detailed report of the property’s condition, you’re also able to establish trust with a prospective buyer. When their own inspection doesn’t turn up anything that hasn’t already been communicated, there’s a far greater likelihood of both parties leaving negotiations satisfied with the outcome.
New Construction Inspection
As construction wraps up on a new home, a professional inspection can help you determine whether or not the property is move-in ready. By assessing the soundness of the structure and the safe operation of any installed systems, we’re able to make sure that there are no building code violations or material defects that could become a headache for the building contractor, investor, or homeowner.
New Construction Phase Inspection
At any or all phases of new construction, Apogee Home Inspections offers our trained insight to help ensure that the building process moves forward free of any major complications. From the pre-concrete pour to the pre-final walkthrough, we’re able to come on-site to evaluate current progress and inform you of any building code violations or other areas of concern. By identifying and addressing possible issues before moving on, you’re able to better maintain a safe and timely project.
Home Maintenance Inspection
An annual Home Maintenance Inspection is highly recommended for any homeowner. For a home to retain its value and remain as safe and efficient as the day you bought it, it must be regularly maintained. When we perform a Home Maintenance Inspection, we’ll carefully examine most readily accessible areas of your home to determine if repairs or improvements are necessary for any individual component. After we fill you in on the findings, we’ll provide additional home maintenance tips so that you can continue to keep your home as safe and sound as possible.
Wind Mitigation Inspection
Implements designed for the reduction of wind damage are critical for the safety and longevity of Florida homes. Additionally, they allow homeowners to receive sizable credits from their insurer. In a Wind Mitigation Inspection, we’ll examine a property to determine what measures are in place for protection against wind damage. From there, we’ll be able to inform you of which insurance credits a home may be eligible for receiving.
4-Point Inspection
A 4-Point Inspection is often required by insurers for homes that are over 25 years old. It involves the visual evaluation of four key areas: the HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and roofing systems. The information provided by a 4-Point Inspection will determine which policies the home qualifies for and will identify areas that may need improved before coverage can be applied.
Drone Roof Inspections
The roofing system of a home can be difficult to properly inspect due to factors such as pitch, inclement weather, known damage, or certain materials that are unsafe for being walked on. With the assistance of a remotely-operated drone, Apogee Home Inspections is able to overcome these challenges to provide an accurate assessment of any roofing system. When a Drone Roof Inspection is requested, we’ll use our drone to take ultra high-resolution photographs and video of the roofing system—carefully inspecting it just as if we’d walked it.
Pool and Spa Inspection
Pools and spas are common additions to homes throughout South Florida. To ensure that you and your guests can enjoy them safely, we recommend scheduling an inspection before closing on a property. In a Pool and Spa inspection, we’ll assess the condition of the cleaning system, motors, pumps, and all other essential equipment so that you have the reassurance you need before diving in.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal Imaging, or Infrared Thermography, is an extraordinarily useful technology for diagnosing deficient areas of a home. By using an infrared camera to capture the colorized temperature signature of any component, we’re able to discover issues that elude even the most discerning set of eyes. Thermal Imaging helps us determine areas of energy loss, moisture infiltration, and electrical hot spots so that you’re able to maintain and protect your investment.
Mold Testing
When mold proliferates inside a home, it can cause numerous health issues for residents and costly structural damage. Mold often becomes a visible mess, but by the time it has, it may have long been hidden within the walls, ceilings, or floors of your property. Apogee Home Inspections relies on our extensive training and specialized instruments to detect for the presence of mold and for any areas of concentrated moisture that may provide a habitat for future growth.
Termite Inspection
Termites and other wood-destroying organisms can wreak havoc on the structural components of a home, costing homeowners a large chunk of their savings. In order to protect your investment, we recommend scheduling a Termite Inspection. When we test for these damaging insects, we’ll carefully examine readily accessible areas of a property for any signs of an existing or pre-existing infestation. We’ll also inform you of any damage sustained from termites and identify areas where reinfestation may occur.
Radon Testing
Occurring from the decomposition of certain types of rock and soil, radon is a radioactive gas that has been known to escape from the ground and into the air of a home. Radon is odorless, invisible, and hazardous to our health when present in unsafe concentrations. Using advanced detection instruments, Apogee Home Inspections will test your home for this harmful gas so that you can have peace of mind knowing that you and your family are safe.
Lead Paint Test
If you’re planning to invest in an older home, it’s a good idea to have it tested for the presence of lead-based paint. When lead paint begins to deteriorate, it releases a particulate dust that can then be inhaled or ingested. Particularly harmful to children, lead poisoning causes extremely serious health problems. Apogee Home Inspections is equipped with state-of-the-art detection instruments to test a property for lead so that your family can remain safe and informed.
