WHY DO YOU BASE YOUR PRICE ON THE YEAR A HOME WAS BUILT RATHER THAN THE YEAR IT WAS UPDATED?

Older homes typically require more extensive inspections due to potential wear, outdated systems, or construction methods. Updates may modernize certain aspects, but the underlying structure still reflects the original build date.

DO YOU INSPECT POOLS?

Yes, Dwellinspect Arizona offers comprehensive pool and spa inspections to assess safety, functionality, and potential repair needs.

DO YOU OFFER SEWER INSPECTIONS? CHIMNEY INSPECTIONS?

We can arrange sewer inspections through trusted partners. Chimney inspections are visually assessed, but for detailed interior evaluations, we recommend hiring a chimney specialist.

I’M GETTING AN FHA LOAN. CAN YOU DO THE FHA INSPECTION?

Dwellinspect Arizona provides general home inspections but does not perform FHA-specific inspections. FHA appraisals are separate and conducted by FHA-approved appraisers.

THE FURNACE IS REALLY OLD. SHOULD I HIRE A FURNACE GUY TO LOOK AT IT?

If the furnace is old or shows signs of issues during our inspection, we recommend having a licensed HVAC specialist evaluate it further.

WHAT IF IT’S A NEWER STUCCO HOUSE?

Stucco is inspected for cracks, moisture intrusion, and proper installation. If concerns arise, we may recommend specialized stucco or moisture testing.

WHO CAN SIGN THE MOISTURE AGREEMENT AND WILL YOU ACCEPT AN AMENDED PURCHASE AGREEMENT?

The homeowner or buyer can sign the moisture agreement. We accept amended agreements, provided they are signed before the inspection begins.

WILL YOU INSPECT GEOTHERMAL HEATING SYSTEMS?

We inspect visible components of geothermal heating systems but may recommend a specialist for in-depth assessments.

WILL YOU GET ON THE ROOF?

Yes, if it is safe to do so. Otherwise, we use drones or high-resolution cameras to inspect hard-to-reach areas.

DO YOU OFFER MOLD TESTING?

Yes, Dwellinspect Arizona offers mold testing to assess potential indoor air quality issues or visible mold concerns.

SHOULD I TEST FOR MOLD?

If there are signs of water damage, musty odors, or allergy concerns, mold testing is a good idea. It provides peace of mind and actionable results.

WHAT IF MOLD IS PRESENT?

If mold is present, we’ll provide a detailed report, and you can contact a licensed remediation specialist to address the issue.

CAN I SEE THE INSPECTION AGREEMENT BEFORE YOU DO THE HOME INSPECTION?

Absolutely! We provide the inspection agreement in advance for your review and signature before the inspection begins.

CAN I BE THERE FOR THE INSPECTION?

Yes! We encourage clients to attend the inspection to ask questions and gain a better understanding of the findings.

WHAT TIME SHOULD I MEET YOU?

It’s best to arrive toward the end of the inspection so the inspector can review the findings with you. We’ll let you know the exact time to meet.
