Rural property inspection
Your rural property inspection covers things that are not found in residential city houses. Every rural property is unique and so is your inspection! Did you know that most rural properties are not connected to a municipal water and sewage system?

Crawlspaces and foundations
What lurks beneath your house may surprise you! A network of wooden beams and posts, supported by a concrete or stone foundation is typical for rural construction. Some of these buildings were not constructed with a basement to save on costs or because of rocky terrain. To get a full picture of your homes condition, a crawlspace inspection ensures that no stone is left unturned. We check for decay, insect infestation, water ingress and proper ventilation.
No stone unturned
- Detailed report on foundation conditions.
- Breakdown of any recommended improvements.

Exterior and yard
Rural houses are often built on larger lots, and require more scrutiny to determine adequate water drainage away from the buildings. We see buildings that were poorly placed and drainage was a mere afterthought. This is something to seriously consider when looking to purchase a charming farm house or cabin in the woods, as you may be in for a surprise when the snow melts or water settles around your house, causing foundation movement and damage.
