Why should I use ProCheck?
We are a fully insured and licensed engineering firm dedicated to
quality and serving you. At ProCheck Engineering, home inspections are
our only business. This makes our engineers flexible to meet your
scheduling needs. We maintain a staffed office to answer your calls and
questions any time of day and help expedite scheduling.
What makes ProCheck different
from other home inspectors?
A house is a complex set of electrical, mechanical, and structural
components, which require a diverse background to understand. All
inspectors at ProCheck Engineering have degrees in construction and
engineering. It is this depth of knowledge, which sets us apart from
other inspection companies.
Why have an inspection?
An inspection will help you better understand and evaluate your
prospective home. Our engineers are trained to objectively evaluate the
numerous elements of the home.
Who benefits from an inspection?
YOU benefit from a thorough, independent evaluation of the home. We
strongly recommend that you do not risk such an important investment
without an inspection.
How long does an inspection take?
The time for an inspection depends on the size, age, and complexity of
the home. For the average home, in order to meet ASHI requirements and
provide you with an accurate report, a ProCheck home inspection
typically lasts 2 to 3 hours depending on the size of the house.
Will the inspector enter the
accessible attics and crawl spaces?
Unless obstructed or too dangerous, ASHI guidelines require ProCheck
inspectors to examine all attic and crawl space areas and include their
findings in the report. This is a crucial factor since many defects in
the secluded areas go undiscovered until they are inspected.
Does the inspector carry the
proper tools and test equipment to thoroughly evaluate the house?
A proper inspection requires looking inside the electrical panel, water
heater, and furnace. All ProCheck engineers carry electrical meters,
mirrors, moisture meters, and gas detectors in order to make accurate
diagnosis.
How far ahead must we schedule?
Depending on our engineer’s schedule, our inspector coordinator can
assist you in finding a time that is convenient for you. Appointments
can usually be made within 24 to 48 hours after calling our office. Our
inspectors are available seven days a week year round, however, daylight
restrictions may limit the inspection schedule.
What will I get upon completion?
You will be provided copies of our comprehensive 24 page report upon
completion of the inspection. All ProCheck inspections exceed the
Standards of Practice established by the American Society of Home
Inspectors (ASHI), which is the most respected organization in the home
inspection field. Through trade publications and continuing education,
we keep abreast of recalls and changes in the home construction
industry. You will get more from ProCheck than a list of preprinted
phrases and disclaimers, which many other companies use as inspection
reports.
When will I receive the written
report?
Some inspection companies make you wait several days for the report to
be mailed to you. This delay could mean you do not receive the report
before the inspection contingency in your real estate contract expires.
The ProCheck Engineering written report is presented to the client at
the end of the inspection. Other pertinent information is also supplied
at this time which will help you evaluate your purchase decision.
