Maintenance inspections are for homeowners who are looking to stay current on the condition of their home. The inspection will entail what may need to be addressed immediately, what should be put on the home improvement list down the line and what is to be noted for the future. The biggest benefit is if there is an inspection issue, there is more leeway to be able to delve deeper than a pre-purchase home inspection to find a possible cause before it becomes a larger and more costly problem.
Typical checks are the roof, gutters and drainspouts, fireplaces and chimneys, furnaces and air conditioning, smoke detectors and other safety equipment, plumbing and faucets, windows and doors, and basement walls and drains.
