licensed and certified
Your inspector is certified by InterNACHI (International Association of Certified Home Inspectors) and Licensed by the state of Arizona. He is held at the highest inspection standards, which are derived from each home inspection association or state standards.
My promise to you – I will inspect your home as if it were going to be mine and my family’s. I strive to uphold our reputation for excellent and timely service, high-detail inspection services, and delivering you a home inspection report that gives you the insights you need to make a smart decision.
Having a home inspection done by a professional before buying or selling a home is a necessary step to expose any unknown defects of the property.
Prior to listing your home for sale, a pre-listing home inspection can find things that may otherwise cause a potential buyer to walk away from your property if not properly addressed. The home inspector will provide a deficiency report highlighting all of the major deficiencies found during the inspection. This enables you to resolve major issues beforehand to help facilitate a smoother sale.
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. Before you buy a home in Arizona and the surrounding areas, you should have a buyer's home inspection to avoid potentially costly repairs that would otherwise go undetected until they become even more costly. Additionally, the home inspector looks for safety issues that could harm you, your family, or your guests. Code 4 Property Inspections will provide you with a detailed home inspection report highlighting areas of concern, so they can be addressed prior to the transaction.
Unfortunately, home builders aren't perfect. Mistakes could be made, or short cuts could be taken. Code 4 Property Inspections offers pre-drywall inspections and inspections prior to the expiration of the warranty. Pre-drywall inspections offer a last chance to find defects that will be hidden behind the walls and a less costly fix for the builder because issues are still accessible. Most new home warranties are valid for 12 months. After 11 months you should have a home inspector look for issues in the quality of construction before your warranty expires, so that the responsibility to fix the items lies with the builder and not you.
Even if you're not buying or selling your home, issues may develop over time that could affect the safety of your family or cost you money if unaddressed. Having a home inspection done every 2-3 years helps ensure the value of your investment. Deferring maintenance on your home will lead to more costly maintenance later on.
For inground pools and spas, Code 4 Property Inspections offers inspections to look for defects in the pool structure and equipment, as well as identifying safety concerns.
Every home inspection includes the use of a professional thermal imaging camera at no additional charge. Thermal imaging helps identify temperature differences and anomalies that may not be readily visible during a standard visual inspection.
Thermal imaging may help identify indications of moisture intrusion or leaks, missing or inadequate insulation, HVAC heating and cooling concerns, unusual electrical heat patterns, air leakage, and other temperature anomalies.
Thermal imaging is used as a supplemental tool as part of the overall home inspection and does not replace specialized testing or invasive evaluation.
Are your sinks and tubs emptying too slowly? We use a special camera to scope the sewer line to visualize any blockages that are interfering with the plumbing system’s proper drainage. Finding and addressing such problems now can head off catastrophic and expensive repairs later.
Code 4 Property Inspections provides on-site field inspections and documentation for manufactured homes requiring review and certification by a licensed professional engineer.
An engineering certification may be requested or required by a lender or underwriter during the purchase, sale, financing, or refinancing of a manufactured home, including certain FHA, VA, conventional, and other loan transactions.
The field inspection may include documentation of the permanent foundation system, foundation supports, anchoring/tie-downs and uplift restraints, site conditions, photographs, and additions or modifications when applicable.
Code 4 Property Inspections performs the on-site field inspection and documentation. The final engineering evaluation and certification are completed and issued by a third-party licensed professional engineer.
