Home inspections

Before purchasing a house in the Greater Pittsburgh area we will evaluate the property for defects & deficiencies. All of our inspections provide an extremely detailed and accurate inspection report, written on the computer including digital photos of the defects.

We perform all inspections with the latest state-of-the-art testing equipment and will provide a conclusive overview of the existing structure. We will check all of the specialized features in your home. You will feel assured, after leaving the inspection, whether or not to go ahead with the purchase.

Pre-Listing inspections (sometimes referred to as seller inspections) are becoming more popular because they virtually eliminate all the pitfalls and hassles associated with waiting to do the inspections until a buyer is found. In many ways, waiting to schedule inspections until after a home goes under agreement, is too late.

Seller inspections are arranged and paid for by the seller, usually just before the home goes on the market. The seller is the inspector’s client. The inspector works for the seller and generates a report for the seller. The seller then typically makes multiple copies of the report and shares them with potential buyers that tour the home for sale. Seller inspections are a benefit to all parties in a real estate transaction.

 An increasing number of forward thinking Pittsburgh home buyers are employing an independent home inspector to complete a final inspection once the construction is completed.  There are as many as 20 different subcontracts who will work on your home during the construction phase. Sometimes changes or modifications are made without the benefit of having them reviewed by the builder’s representative, and these changes or modification may create hazardous construction defects.  EAS Building Inspectors will inspect the structure and every major subsystem of your final construction project to ensure the building process was carried out to an acceptable standard. Our inspections usually take from 2½ to 4 hours depending on the size of the home. As a part of our inspection we will observe, describe and identify all installed systems and components of the project and point out construction defects when observed. 

 During the course of building a new home, many things can go wrong and that is why we at EAS recommend conducting a pre-drywall installation inspection. This service is performed after the rough plumbing, electrical, HVAC, framing and roofing installation. This allows us the opportunity to check for defects before they are covered up by insulation and drywall. This is an in-depth inspection which will require substantially more time than a typical home inspection.
