Standard Non-Structural Residential Engineering Inspection includes:

Our standard inspection includes visual inspection per the standards of practice of NACHI (National Association of Certified Inspectors).  The inspection is to identify observed defects within specific components of the list below.  A residential engineering inspection is intended to assist in evaluation of the overall condition of the dwelling. The inspection is based on observation of the visible and apparent condition of the structure and its components on the date of the inspection and not the determination of future conditions, even though in some cases we do indicate to the future owner potential problems.
