Frequently Asked Questions

Before you schedule a home inspection in Wilmington and surrounding areas, you likely have questions about what to expect and our process. Our comprehensive FAQ can give you more insight, but call our team if you need help!

For roof inspections in Wilmington and surrounding areas, we inspect visible roof covering materials (shingles), flashings at roof penetrations and valleys, skylights, chimneys, gutters, and downspouts. We assess the condition of these elements for proper function, looking for evidence of leakage or worn, damaged, or missing components to provide a thorough home inspection in Wilmington and nearby communities.
When HouseMaster Serving Wilmington inspects exterior elements, we check the visible siding and trim, windows, doors, garages, porches, decks, stairs, and railings. We also assess proper construction and function, looking for damage, missing components, or other conditions that might lead to infiltration or functional concerns.

For the interior portion of the home inspection in Wilmington and surrounding neighborhoods, we inspect visible areas of all walls, ceilings, stairways, representative windows and doors, and attic areas. We look for signs of leakage, damage, sagging, or other structural concerns. We will operate windows to determine function. In accessible attics, besides assessing structural components, we note insulation and ventilation conditions.
Along with inspecting visible load-bearing framing components, foundation walls, slabs, piers and columns, and major structural components, we assess visible, accessible structural components for function and the presence of damage, decay, or defects. To complete the foundation inspection in Wilmington and nearby communities, we also look for water penetration in below-grade areas.
Kitchen inspections in the Wilmington area include checking plumbing fixtures and built-in appliances for water pressure or drainage issues, visible signs of leaks, and the appliances' and ventilators' basic operational modes. We also look at cabinets and countertops for significant deficiencies to provide a comprehensive home inspection in Wilmington and surrounding areas.
When you schedule a property inspection in Wilmington or its surrounding neighborhoods, we'll examine the heating and cooling system. We’ll inspect the visible components of the central AC or heat pump system, including condensers, air handlers, and the distribution ductwork. We then operate the system to assess the function and condition of the accessible indoor/outdoor components. The distribution system is also assessed for the Wilmington area.
We inspect visible service panel components and household wiring and devices. To provide the most thorough home inspection in Wilmington and nearby areas, we also assess the condition of readily accessible panel components, note the presence of GFCIs, AFCIs, and smoke alarms, and check the operation of representative outlets, switches, fixtures, and other devices.
In Wilmington and surrounding areas, we inspect visible water supply piping, distribution piping, waste system piping, water heaters, and plumbing fixtures.
