More Than Inspections, Peace of Mind.
The purchase of a multifamily home can be a great way to generate rental income and build equity in a commercial property. While the rewards can be higher, the stakes are higher too. The infrastructure and the systems that support the building can be larger and more complex, and quite possibly more expensive to maintain and replace. An inspection can be a small investment with large dividends.
A Multifamily Home Inspection by HHI Home Inspection Professionals will reduce the risk of costly surprises with what is likely to be a significant business decision. During a typical inspection many components and systems will be inspected and assessed. These include and may not be limited to the categories listed below.
Components of a Home Inspection
Roof
The roof is one of the most costly and important structures. We will examine the roof, its structure, shingles/tiles, flashing, gutters, downspouts and more.
Exterior
This includes the exterior walkways and doors, siding, eaves and soffits, fascia, paint, and other such elements of the home’s exterior including sidewalks and mailboxes.
HVAC
We will visually inspect the HVAC systems including ducts, filters, furnaces and air conditioning units inside & outside the property. Heat & cold blowing temps will both be tested.
Plumbing
We will visually inspect plumbing fixtures for proper function, including tubs, sinks, hoses, showers and water shut-off valves, if applicable, and look for leaks and other such flaws.
Electrical
We will visually inspect both interior and exterior electrical systems including service drops, service masts, grounding, outlets, meters, circuit breakers, and other such systems.
Appliances
We will test and examine all major appliances like hot water heaters, washers and dryers, dishwashers to look for any signs of potential failure or malfunction.
Doors, Windows & Interior
We will check doors and windows for proper sealing and drafts, signs of water damage, and more. We will also check the condition of all interior spaces.
Attic, Ventilation & Insulation
We will examine the attic to ensure it is properly ventilated, check for moisture, assess the level of insulation, and more. We will also check for crawl space & attic door condition.
Foundation, Basements & Crawl Spaces
We will examine the foundation, crawlspaces to look for signs of things like past water damage, foundation cracking or shifting, and other such potentially expensive issues.
