Ridgefield Home Inspection Tips

Don’t Neglect a Home Inspection Before Buying Your Next Property

What are some of the reasons why you should consider a home inspection before buying in Ridgefield?

Older homes, especially those built before 1960, bring concerns newer homes don’t. Has the electrical system been modernized? Does the furnace function well? Are the basement walls stable? A qualified home inspector in Ridgefield, WA who’s dealt with older homes can help you make smarter purchasing decisions.

What does our comprehensive home inspection include when we inspect Ridgefield homes?

Our comprehensive home inspections in Ridgefield, WA include most interior and exterior parts of your home and surrounding property, including the structure, exterior, site, roof, insulation and ventilation, along with your home’s major systems. We also recommend add-ons like a sewer scope, radon testing, and water quality to ensure there’ll be no surprises after move-in. We also offer re-inspection services to ensure your list of fixes is buttoned up before closing. 

What does our inspector look for when inspecting a home in Ridgefield?

Our inspector’s training and experience allow him to spot potential problems that other companies may miss. Whenever our home inspections reveal issues, we’ll flag them so they can be addressed before the sale is completed. Radon testing and sewer scopes are also essential to ensure your home is safe for your family. 

Should you consider any add-on services for Ridgefield home inspections?

Some Ridgefield homes sit outside of the city’s water and sewer system, which means some buyers should include a water quality test to ensure the purity of their drinking water. Many areas in Clark County are at higher risk of radon because of our soil, so radon testing is also strongly recommended.

Anything else that is unique about Ridgefield?

Demand for Ridgefield homes combined with the hot housing market makes buying and selling here extremely competitive. However, that doesn’t mean you should compromise on your home inspections. Knowing you’re purchasing a high-quality home will provide peace of mind that money can’t buy.
