Partial Inspection
Why Get A Partial Inspection?
Partial inspections provide clarification of particular issues or concerns. There may be an issue in a certain part of your home, such as after a remodel. You may be wondering about the state of your foundation or electrical system. You may not need a full home inspection to see if there are problems or not, in which case, you can schedule a partial inspection.
Partial inspections are focused on a particular area, like potentially hazardous areas or main systems of the home. They give you the specialized information on a particular component you are concerned about, so you don’t need to get a full home inspection if you’re only concerned about certain areas.
When you have partial inspections done, you can get reports on the condition of the specific areas of your home you are concerned about, which is less overwhelming than your home as a whole.
What Do Partial Inspections Cover?
Partial inspections cover what you need them to. They are comprehensive, but not as much as a full inspection, since less is being inspected. They are less focused on minor problems and more focused on any major issues or safety concerns. People typically ask for inspections of main systems and components.
Commonly requested partial inspections include areas such as:
- Roofing
- Plumbing
- HVAC
- Electrical
- Basement
- Foundation
- And more
Beyond these, you may get a 4-point home inspection. More on these in the following section. If you wanted us to inspect other areas of your home too, we can do this. If you want everything inspected, you will need to schedule a full home inspection.
4-Point Home Inspections
4-point home inspections are among the most requested partial inspections home inspectors do. This is where we inspect your HVAC, your electrical panels and wiring, your plumbing, and your roofing. As these are major components of any house, any problems in these areas could lead to significant expenses and damages. With a 4-point inspection, we would focus on these main components.
Specialty Inspections
We can also do specialty inspections that are not included in traditional inspections, such as radon testing, methamphetamine testing, mold inspection, and more. If you would like these additional testing services, you can have them done on top of your partial or full home inspection or on their own, if those are the things you are concerned about.
Should You Schedule A Full Or Partial Inspection?
Depending on your needs, a full or partial inspection may be better suited to you. In many cases, people who only want a partial inspection could benefit from a full home inspection, as a full home inspection can bring up issues that would otherwise be missed. However, if you’re really only concerned about specific parts of your house, you don’t need a full inspection in order to have them looked at. Partial inspections are great for this.
In order to determine the best type of inspection for you, it’s best to consult with the experts here at Nook & Kranny Home Services.
