For roof inspections in the Fenwick Island/Ocean City area, we inspect the 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.

When HouseMaster Serving Maryland's Eastern Shore inspects exterior elements, we check the visible siding and trim, windows, doors, garages, porches, decks, stairs, and railings.  also assess proper construction and function, looking for damage, missing components, or other conditions that might lead to infiltration or functional concerns.

When it comes to the interior portion of your home inspection in Fenwick Island/Ocean City, we inspect visible areas of all walls, ceilings, stairways, representative windows and doors, and attic areas. Additionally, 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. Your foundation inspection in Fenwick Island/Ocean City also looks for water penetration in below-grade areas.

Kitchen inspections in the Delaware and Maryland areas include checking plumbing fixtures and built-in appliances for water pressure or drainage issues and visible signs of leaks, as well as the basic operational modes of the appliances and ventilators. We also look at cabinets and countertops for significant deficiencies.

We 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 last part of our property inspection in Fenwick Island, Ocean City and the surrounding area will be assessing the distribution system.

From Berlin, Ocean Pines, and Ocean City to Worcester County, MD and Lower Sussex County, DE, we inspect visible service panel components and household wiring and devices. 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.

We inspect visible water supply piping, distribution piping, waste system piping, water heaters, and plumbing fixtures. Our inspectors also assess heating components and inspect the physical condition of piping, kitchen, and bathroom fixtures (tubs, showers, toilets) and operate to assess flow, drainage, and leakage.
