Information On Calgary Home Inspections
When selling a house, you may need to commission an inspection before any buyers can come for viewing. An interested buyer will always want to know what the exact condition of a property is. Rather than wait for him or her to do this, ensure the Calgary home inspections are done in advance thereby leaving you with ample time to have repairs done.
You should confirm that all utilities within the house are fully functional. Gas, water and electricity channels should all be open and confirmed to be operating. Where a house has pilot light, turn them on and confirm that they are fully working.
For pet owners, secure the pet away from the property. His presence within the compound may act as a distraction. It is also advisable that you ensure your agent is well aware of his existence. This way he is able to guide you on how to progress.
An inspector has to be very thorough in his report. This means that he will turn lights on and off. He will also seek to determine whether the windows are fully functional. To avoid receiving a bad report, all burned out light bulbs must be replaced prior to the inspection taking place.
Smoke detectors and alarm systems play a very crucial role in providing warning signals. Even though they are plugged in to the electricity system, they still rely on batteries in order to operate. Replace all worn out and dead batteries and at the same time check to make sure that the carbon monoxide detectors are working.
An inspection is not complete without checking the condition of all existing air conditioning units. When examining an air conditioning unit, the main focus is on the filters and the air vents. All filters should be present and properly secured in place. This is in addition to making certain that all air vents are clean.
In any house, the foundation area will usually require a lot of attention. At this area, you have to check for the presence of cracks and other signs of weakness. If present, immediate repairs have to be commissioned as soon as possible.
Electric panels, water heaters and air conditioning vents are located in the attic area. All this have to be inspected and the inspector will therefore require a clear path to your attic. Remove all unnecessary items present in your attic and leave a clear path to each item.
It will be very important to trim all surrounding bushes and trees. Trees that are located near a house must be trimmed and the distance between the two kept at a distance of at least ten feet. They not only act as the breeding ground for pests, but they can also make a property look unkempt.
For successful Calgary home inspections, repairs must be done as well. Broken and missing items such as door knobs, latches and locks must be taken care of as soon as possible. Window panes, gutters and chimney caps tend to fall and break down and must therefore be replaced.
