AmeriHome Advisors are more than just home inspectors. We provide a complete comprehensive Home Inspection of all major components including Structural, Mechanical, HVAC, Plumbing, Roof and Grounds and evaluate the Health & Air Quality of your new home. After many years working in the Real Estate and construction industry, I openned a Home Inspection Company a few years ago which I really enjoy. I have now expanded those skills by also becoming a licensed claims adjuster. (Now licensed in 8 states) I have also become certified for Mold Inspections and have a side business in the Healthier Environment industry. I am a member of the Orlando Board of Realtors and MLS for easy access to homes and important data that helps me with my reports. My Company is "AmeriHome Advisors,LLC" instead of Amerihome Inspections, because I provide many different types of inspection services in both Residential, Commercial and the Health industry. I feel that I am more than just an inspector, but an Advisor to help people make an informed decision.

Roofing: We start at the top and work our way down. Each side of the roof is inspected individually as each could have defects unrelated to the other slopes. The roof is designed to protect all the components of the building. There are numerous roof styles and materials. Each style and material is inspected carefully for, wear, leaks, defects and other deficiencies. Roof problems that go undetected can cause serious harm to other components of the building.    We carefully evaluate the condition of the material used and document any defects which need correction.                       

Structure: The long term durability of the home is starts with the structure. The two main components of the structure are the foundation and the wall system. Each of these components is critical in providing the building with long lasting comfort and stability. Major defects in the structure can be extensive and very costly to repair.

Exterior: The interior components are protected by the exterior of the building. Exterior components of the building include; roof, siding, trim, doors, windows, garage, decks, patios, gutters & downspouts and the landscaping including the grounds. Each item is inspected for the condition and how it relates to the dwelling. Defects in exterior components such as windows, doors and siding can affect other component of the building.

Landscape: Inspection of the areas surrounding the home is very important. We inspect grading, drainage, patios, landscaping, retaining walls and any alterations which affect the proper drainage of the property. Patios and surrounding soil should be pitched away from the building to keep the foundation free of ponding water which will have a very adverse effect on the structure of the building. Trees and vegetation need to be kept away from the building components to prevent wear, or damage to the foundation from root growth and possibly present a safety hazard.  

Pools: In Florida, we recommend that Swimming pools be inspected by a licensed pool contractor if mechanical malfunctions have occurred, is likely to occur or if leaks are suspected. Especially if a pool has aged and shows signs of deterioration, and is apparent that it could be in need of repair. If a home includes a pool, we do a courtesy visual inspection in relationship to child safety requirements, such as fences, gates and exterior entrance doors to the pool area.  All exterior gates and doors need self closing devices installed and operating correctly for child safety.

Attic:  We inspect attics very carefully for the quality of the construction, the insulation, water penetration, venting, pest or rodent entry and exposed electrical wiring hazards. We inspect for hidden signs that indicate problems as well as a safety concern.  

Mechanical Systems: HVAC & Electrical:  A comfortable and safe living environment is provided by the mechanical systems of the building. Each system has many components and there are many types of systems. We evaluate the condition and age of the type of system in the building and test for possible deficiencies that may require a licensed professional to repair or possibly replace defects we find.  We perform a temperature test on both the supply & return air vents and analyze the air quality and air distribution system.

Plumbing:  A plumbing system consists of three systems. Water supply, drain waste and disposal, mechanical, ample fixtures and equipment. We inspect and operate all fixtures and run several gallons of water through the plumbing system, checking the overall condition of the system. Leaking pipes, dripping valves, clogged pipes, corrosion, reversed hot and cold water supplies. Limited hot water or inadequate water pressure are indications of a defective plumbing system.  Septic systems are not inspected other than visual observation and testing of the toilets. Septic systems in Florida should be tested on a scheduled basis through a septic company.

Kitchen: We inspect for water damage under the sink, in the cabinets, around the dishwasher, behind the refrigerator as well as electrical ground fault circuits and safety related items. We also test all included appliances. 

Bathrooms:  We inspect carefully all areas including the tub and shower areas and around the toilet in particular. These areas are more prone to hidden water damage. We will advise you to potential hidden defects which could cost you money to repair or replace.

Bedrooms & Other adjoining rooms: The bedrooms and other adjoining rooms of the house are inspected for defects in structural electrical wiring, window operation, closets, flooring, entry doors, and smoke detectors.

Air & Surface Quality: As an added bonus, we provide a 10 point Healthier Environment inspection to check for lingering bacteria and MOLD spores in the Air and on Surfaces.
