It is no wonder many home buyers call SPY Inspection Services’ professionals to inspect the structural and mechanical systems of the home and report to them on their condition. Sometimes sellers find it beneficial to have SPY Inspections evaluate their home prior to listing. This way, they will be alerted to problems that could arise later in the transaction, avoiding needless worry and stress. Inspections are an important part of the home buying process. Spy Inspection’s home inspectors are all ASHI certified and will take an objective, unemotional look at the home you are considering, and evaluate its condition so you can make an informed purchasing decision. An inspection is intended to assist in evaluation of the overall condition of a building. Spy Inspection’s professionals have performed thousands of home inspections and pride themselves on understanding and evaluating each home thoroughly and are ready to answer any questions you may have. Spy Inspections offers a visual wood destroying insect (WDI) inspection that can be performed with or without a general home inspection. A WDI inspection covers the visually accessible areas of a home and includes an inspection for termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and reinfesting wood boring beetle. The inspection will point out conditions that could lead to infestation or support-hidden infestation. These include firewood and other debris stored against the home, wood siding contact with the soil, and grade, which does not slope away from the foundation. All WDI inspections use the National Pest Management Association report format NPMA-33 that is recognized by most states and is the preferred report format for FHA, HUD and VA mortgages.
