NEW RAMONA HOME INSPECTION COMPANY

So you’ve placed an offer on a house. Congratulations! If you are like many people in San Diego, you are feeling cash poor right about now. You might be questioning why you would want to incur yet another expense such as a pre-purchase home inspection.

According to Philippe Heller, president of The San Diego Real Estate Inspection Company, there’s a lot more to know about a house than "location, location, location." A certified, professional home inspector can verify the condition of a home before you finalize the purchase. Even the most meticulous seller can be unaware of problems that develop with age. A seller may not know about a problem, so it may not be disclosed. Without a thorough inspection, you may be buying a money pit.

There are so many functional components in a house; furnace, electrical and plumbing systems, roof, foundation, insulation and ventilation to name a few. More importantly there are health and safety issues that must be evaluated. Electrical outlets near water must be wired properly, and poisonous carbon monoxide gas can be leaking into the living space of your home.

Heller suggests that you hire only certified inspectors with the latest test equipment. "Reputable inspection companies will have made the investment in state-of-the-are equipment and reporting software. Their reports will be detailed and give you a good analysis of the house."

The San Diego Real Estate Inspection Company, a California Corporation, offers inspection services for single family homes, estates and equestrian properties throughout San Diego County. For more information visit www.sdinspections.com.
