Inspection Services

Due to the uncertain circumstances we are facing with the virus, we are offering a better solution to a traditional home inspection. Don’t show up! Your health doesn’t need to be compromised during the home inspection process. We have SentryLock access and can let ourselves in for the home inspection. Should you insist, you can be present but must be without unnecessary others including children and practice social distancing.

Rather than a confusing face time session, we will be adding 360 degree images of the interior of the home. When we call for the post inspection consultation, we can go page by page, and room by room to answer any questions you may have. We save every report we write to the cloud and make ourselves available to answer questions in full dialogue. This by no means compromises the thoroughness of our work and is well documented by a larger amount of pictures. The pictures that need explanation will have arrows pointing to the specific issues that would benefit from improvement or have an important function, such as the shut off valves.

The times are calling for better answers and we would like to help you with them. Contact us today for more information or to schedule your 360 degree home inspection.

​Advocates Home Inspection conducts investment property inspections as a third party for move in, move out, and annual intervals. We build custom templates based on the individual investor and for property management companies. We photo document every aspect for the recipient. Most of these inspections are sent via email on the same day. These inspections will document properties before, during and after a tenants contract. We would like the owner to stay informed of the properties condition at all intervals.

Common inspection items requested by owners are:
– Documentation of smoke detectors placement and proper function (required annually for rental properties in the state of Virginia.)
– The condition of roof and gutters
– Exterior photos of the property from each side, documenting any trees or other vegetation touching the property or otherwise needing attention.
– Interior photos of all walls, flooring, ceiling, windows & doors.
– Check operation of all sinks showers, tubs, and toilets.
– Photo documentation of kitchen appliances.
– Air filter check, sizing, and documentation of condition.
– Tag and label on and off valves for water and gas.
– Documentation of necessary maintenance items.
