Wondering what’s included in a standard home inspection from Doolan Home Inspections?
Here is a quick overview of the services included in your home inspection, and the major systems that we inspect and assess throughout the process.

Infrared
An infrared scan is included with every inspection. We use an infrared camera to determine what is going on behind your walls, and can detect problems that other inspectors cannot. Infrared helps us detect numerous potential problems behind walls and ceilings, such as:
- Lack of insulation
- Moisture intrusion problems
- Conditioned air loss
- Damaged electrical components
- Overloaded electrical components
Carbon Monoxide
We test for carbon monoxide(CO) in every home that we inspect. CO is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. It can be produced by fuel burning appliances such as furnaces, ranges, and water heaters. CO poisoning accounts for roughly 20,000 emergency room visits per year, and in higher concentrations it can be lethal.
Roof
We will examine the roof and its structure, its shingles/tiles, flashing, gutters, downspouts, and vent pipes.
Exterior
We will examine the exterior of the home and it’s components. This includes the driveway, walkways, siding, eaves, soffits, fascia, and the deck.
Attic, Ventilation, and Insulation
We will examine the attic to ensure it is properly ventilated, check for moisture intrusion and mold, and assess the level of insulation.
Foundation, Basement, and Crawl Space
We will examine the foundation, basement, and crawlspace to look for signs of water damage, foundational cracking or shifting, and other such potentially expensive issues.
Doors, Windows, and Interior
We will examine doors and windows for damage, proper sealing, and signs of moisture intrusion and mold. We will also check the condition of all interior spaces.
HVAC
We will examine the HVAC systems including ducts, filters, furnaces and air conditioning units.
Plumbing
We will examine plumbing fixtures for proper function. This includes tubs, sinks, showers, toilets, and water shut-off valves. We will look for leaks and other such flaws.
Electrical Systems
We will examine both interior and exterior electrical systems and components including the service drop, service mast, grounding, bonding, outlets, meters, and circuit breakers.
Appliances
We will examine and test all major appliances such as hot water heaters, washers, dryers, dishwashers, stove tops, and ovens.

Whether you are buying, selling, or maintaining your home, Doolan Home Inspections provides professional and quality service from the moment you first contact us. Scheduling your inspection is simple, fast, and straightforward.

After we complete the inspection, we will explain the general condition of the home and it’s systems with you and your agent. We will talk through any major issues that need addressed. We will also mention maintenance items that you will want to keep an eye on. All of this will be detailed in our easy-to-read Spectora report, which will be delivered immediately after the inspection, in HTML and/or PDF format. From that report you will be able to see the items we discussed, with images for reference.
