Frequently Asked Questions

Before you schedule your home inspection in Lake Murray and surrounding areas, you likely have questions that need answers. We’re here to help you out! Check out our list of commonly asked questions, but if you don’t see your question, our team would be happy to help!

During your home inspection in Lake Murray and surrounding areas, we inspect the roof for 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 your local HouseMaster team 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.

During the interior portion of a home inspection in Lake Murray and surrounding areas, 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 their 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. We also look for water penetration in below-grade areas to ensure you have a thorough foundation inspection in Lake Murray and nearby communities.
Kitchen inspections in the Lake Murray area include checking plumbing fixtures and built-in appliances for water pressure or drainage issues and visible signs of leaks. We also check the basic operational modes of the appliances and ventilators. We 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 distribution system is also assessed during your property inspection in Lake Murray and surrounding areas.
During your home inspection in Lake Murray, and surrounding areas, you can expect us to 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. During the property inspection in Lake Murray and neighboring communities, we 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.
