Inspection file · West Bloomfield, MI
West Bloomfield inspections from an InterNACHI certified Michigan LLC that carries E&O and liability insurance, inspecting since 2000.
Lake lots slope toward the water, and so does the runoff. Walkout lower levels, seawalls, boathouses and long decks all take a beating from water and ice.
A West Bloomfield home inspector has to look at the lake side as hard as the street side. Our full home inspection covers every system, with infrared to find moisture behind finished walls.
Older lake cottages that became year-round homes often still sit on crawl spaces. High water tables keep them damp, and floor framing rots slowly.
A NAMP certified mold inspection with lift tape, swab or spore trap air samples and lab analysis tells you what is growing under the floor.
Walkouts on the lake side face the most water of any wall in the house. Cracks, efflorescence and failed patio drains show up first there.
When the signs point to movement, our foundation inspection checks walls, footings and framing in detail.
Much of West Bloomfield was built out in the 1970s and 1980s. Those homes are now old enough that roofs, furnaces, air conditioners and windows are often original or on their second round.
We note the age and condition of each major system so you can plan replacement costs before closing.
Condo complexes along the main roads and small multi-unit buildings near Keego Harbor change hands often.
For buildings with several units, our multi-family inspections cover each unit plus the shared roof, foundation and mechanical systems.
Some older lake homes still run on septic, with drain fields squeezed onto small lots near the shoreline.
Our septic and well inspection evaluates the system and drain field and is VA, FHA, RD and USDA compliant.
Many West Bloomfield homes have been fully remodeled: new floors, cabinets, paint and adhesives. Those materials release gases for months.
Our VOC and TMVOC testing uses lab analysis to show what is in the air.
Lake homes hide water. Subdivision homes hide missing insulation. Infrared finds both.
Thermal imaging is included free on every job.
Your report arrives within an hour of the inspection.
An ion air exchange radon test can start during the same visit.
Saturday 8 to 5 and Sunday 9 to 3, plus weekdays until 8 pm.
