Don’t end up with a house full of faults you hadn’t anticipated
Choosing a home inspector can be a difficult process. It is important to consult with family and friends to find a reliable inspector that has good references.
The Kate Broddick Team can provide you with local home inspectors to contact, however, it is important that you feel comfortable with the person you choose. Therefore, conducting an interview to ascertain their qualifications is very important.
Be sure to do your own independent investigation of the inspector’s qualifications.

Types of home inspections
Home inspections are an important part of the pre-purchase routine when buying a home. You may choose to have any of these types of inspections done when deciding to buy a home, or all of them!
Overall Home Inspection: Have the roof to the foundation inspected plus everything in between!
Septic Inspection: If the home has a septic system you’ll want to have it inspected and make sure it’s in good working order.
Water Testing: If the home has a well or cistern, you may want to have the water tested for unsafe levels of bacteria or minerals.
Asbestos/UFFI Testing: If your home is of a certain age, a special inspection of insulation containing asbestos or formaldehyde may be recommended.
