How We Do It!
1st AZ Home Inspections begins by taking a picture of the home. The utilities are located and identified. The foundation is inspected, as well as the exterior covering of the walls. The Home Inspector for 1st AZ Home Inspections has been trained to inspect and evaluate the home as a series of systems, designed to keep the family safe and secure.
The exterior roof inspection and evaluation is done by walking on the surface and inspecting the covering for damage or signs of poor workmanship. We at 1st AZ Home Inspections will only walk on the surface when safe to do so, when it is not safe the evaluation is done from several vantage points around the home using ladders and binoculars.
The Main electrical panel to the home is also inspected and evaluated. The home inspector from 1st AZ home Inspections is trained to inspect the electrical panel for wiring size, breaker type and size, grounding, lateral or overhead service, along with many more.
