Having a property inspected by a professional home inspector is a necessary and important part of the home buying process. Even if you are buying new construction, hiring a qualified professional to inspect the home can provide you with valuable information about key aspects of the property that can, if left unattended sometimes cost you thousands in after-the-sale repairs.
In various Metro Atlanta communities like Roswell, Marietta, Kennesaw, Woodstock, Canton or Alpharetta, homes range in age from new home construction to thirty to fifty years old. Many older homes have been updated but the original construction features like foundations, the roofing structure, insulation, duct work for heat and air systems, electrical wiring and plumbing are original to the home and may not only be in need of repair but may need updating or even replacement.
In many homes in Georgia and especially in many of the foreclosed properties for sale that have been empty for months and sometimes years, inspecting for mildew and mold and testing for Radon emissions and air quality is also a recommended part of the home inspection process.
