Add a package to the inspection
Three packages built around the home inspection. Package prices are for the add-on services only and are added to the inspection price. The savings are against booking the same services one by one.

The ultimate peace of mind
Warranties must be requested when you book, not after the inspection. Radon and thermal imaging can also be added on their own. Read more about each package.
What a home inspection actually involves
No jargon, no surprises. Here is the whole visit, start to finish, so you know what you are booking before you book it.
You book, we confirm
Online or by phone, in a few minutes. Your agent can book for you. Add radon, termite or a package at the same time, and we confirm the appointment with you before the visit.
The walk-around
Roof, siding, grading, decks, the garage and the grounds first. The inspector photographs what they find as they go, so the report shows you exactly where each item is.
Systems and accessible spaces
The inspector checks accessible electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling components and operates equipment with normal controls when conditions allow. The report identifies areas that could not be inspected and any recommended follow-up.
The walkthrough and the report
You see the main findings in the house itself. The written report follows online with photos, priorities and what to do about each item.
Woodbridge home inspections by property type
A Woodbridge home inspection should begin with the booked property type and known concerns. Describe a finished basement, crawlspace, deck, prior water entry, or shared equipment when scheduling. The inspector evaluates visible conditions at that address, including accessible drainage and foundation components, without inferring a defect from a river view or neighborhood name.
Lower spaces and drainage records
For a house with known basement or crawlspace moisture, share when water appeared and what repairs were made. The inspector observes accessible foundation surfaces, framing, grading, gutters, and downspout discharge, alongside the agreed review of roof, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, and interior components. Concealed or unreachable areas are recorded as limitations.
Clear the lower-space entrance and equipment areas. Bring drainage or waterproofing records, and identify decks or additions included in the scope.
Define unit and shared-system scope
For a condominium or managed attached home, clarify which exterior and mechanical components belong to the booked unit and which are maintained by an association. The inspection reviews safely accessible areas within the agreed scope and notes visible concerns at shared boundaries. A single-unit report does not establish the condition of the entire building or neighboring units.
Provide association maintenance information and coordinate access to mechanical closets, panels, balconies, or shared areas included in the appointment.

Home inspection questions in Woodbridge
Questions about Woodbridge lower levels, condominiums, drainage, and optional services.
What does a home inspection in Woodbridge cover?
The agreed visual scope covers safely accessible structure, roof, exterior, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, interior, attic, and site drainage. The report describes observed conditions and areas that could not be inspected. Confirm the scope for a condominium, multiple units, or detached structures when booking.
What does a Belmont Bay or Port Potomac unit inspection include?
Confirm the unit boundaries, included exterior areas, association responsibilities, and equipment access before booking. The inspector evaluates accessible components in the agreed scope; all common elements are not automatically part of a unit inspection.
Can the inspection determine flood risk or underlying soil conditions?
A standard home inspection documents visible conditions, including accessible drainage and foundation concerns. It does not determine flood risk or subsurface soil conditions. Those questions may require separate records or specialist evaluation.
Should I share basement or crawlspace water-repair records?
Yes. Dates, photos, and repair invoices can help explain visible staining, drainage changes, or waterproofing work. The inspector reports current accessible conditions and cannot guarantee that a past leak will not recur.
Can radon testing be scheduled with the home inspection?
Ask about radon testing when booking. It is a separate measurement service with its own result; the visual home inspection does not measure indoor radon. The office can confirm scheduling and access needs.
How should I prepare for a Woodbridge home inspection?
Identify the property type, shared responsibilities, decks, additions, and known water issues. Clear lower spaces, attic hatches, panels, and equipment, and coordinate access to any included common area.
