Inspection file · Grosse Pointe, MI
Grosse Pointe inspections from an InterNACHI certified Michigan LLC with E&O and liability insurance, inspecting since June 2000.
Many Grosse Pointe homes were built between 1910 and 1940, with plaster walls, leaded glass, servant stairs and third-floor rooms. A century of updates sits on top of the original work.
A Grosse Pointe home inspector has to tell the two apart. Our home inspection covers every system, with infrared to find moisture and missing insulation behind the plaster.
The June 2021 storms filled basements across the Park and the City in a matter of hours. Some were gutted and rebuilt properly. Others got new carpet over the same damp walls.
We look for water lines, efflorescence, rusted fasteners and backflow protection, and a structure and foundation inspection covers walls that have taken on water for years.
Plaster hides slow leaks, and finished basements hide flood history. A musty smell is often the only clue.
Our NAMP certified mold inspection uses lift tape, swab and spore trap air samples with viable and non-viable lab analysis.
Slate and clay tile roofs can last a century, but the flashing, gutters and fasteners around them do not. Copper valleys wear through, and broken slates let water into the attic.
We inspect roof coverings, flashing, gutters and the attic below, and infrared helps find wet spots on the underside.
Old boiler pipe wrap, floor tile and old duct wrap in older Pointe homes can contain asbestos, and renovations stir it up.
Our environmental services include asbestos testing and radon testing, and our indoor air quality testing adds VOC and TMVOC lab analysis.
Steam and hot water boilers still heat many Grosse Pointe homes. They run for decades, but the controls, valves and radiators need a close look. Electrical systems often mix original wiring with newer circuits.
We check heating systems, panels and visible wiring in every room.
Kercheval in The Village and the long stretch of Mack Avenue hold older commercial buildings with apartments and offices upstairs.
We perform commercial property inspections up to 100,000 square feet.
Big, old houses produce long reports. You still get yours within the hour.
