What we inspect
A whole-home look at every system that matters.
Every inspection covers the components that carry the highest repair cost and the biggest safety risk — documented with photos and explained in plain language.
Roof & Exterior
Roof covering, flashing, gutters, siding, and drainage evaluated for age, wear, and leak points before they reach the interior of the home.
Electrical
Service panel, wiring, grounding, outlets, and safety devices tested against current standards to flag fire and shock hazards.
Plumbing
Supply lines, drains, water heater, and fixtures inspected for leaks, corrosion, pressure issues, and aging materials due for replacement.
HVAC
Heating and cooling equipment operated and assessed for function, age, and service life — critical in Kern County's summer heat.
Attic & Insulation
Attic access, ventilation, insulation levels, and signs of pests or moisture reviewed to protect efficiency and the roof structure above.
