Our Commitment

With Clear Sky Property Inspections, you will receive a thorough home inspection involving a visual examination of your property that helps you identify any hidden damage, ensure that your home’s construction is up to standard, and avoid costly repairs in the future.

That’s why we’re committed to providing you with the most thorough and comprehensive home inspections possible.

Our Services

Residential Inspection

We bring care and compassion to each inspection, and a consultative approach focused on solutions. We examine the home and major systems including site, foundation, roofing, exterior, interior, plumbing, electrical and HVAC. A detailed, visual, and easy-to-read report complete with digital photo’s and video along with recommendations for maintenance and repair.

Light Commercial Inspection

We are here to help with the due diligence process in purchasing a commercial and multiplex property. We use state-of-the-art equipment and innovative technology to provide a comprehensive report covering the current condition of the property, including digital photos and recommendations to help plan for ongoing and upcoming maintenance and safety.

Homeowner Maintenance

This inspection is similar to a pre-purchase inspection but with no intent on selling your property. During this type of inspection, we will walk through the home to point out any problem areas. This is a great chance to ask questions and get clarification on certain property details. This type of inspection allows you to stop any issues from becoming worse. Oftentimes, homeowners deal with costly repairs because they don’t see a problem until it has created serious damages.

Mold Inspection

Mold growth in the home can cause serious structural damage and pose a threat to human health. We check for hidden mold growth using specialized equipment to collect air samples and surface testing. We will also give you recommendations for the best course of remediation if needed.

Pool & Spa Inspections

Professional pool and spa inspection provides a detailed report on the current condition of the pool and checks for safety issues, including for pool interior, pool lighting, tile and deck, and pool equipment such as pumps, filters, heater, and other accessories. This helps home buyers and owners address issues early before they become larger expenses.

Radon Testing

Radon is an odorless, colorless, and naturally occurring radioactive gas that can cause serious health issues over time. It is the #1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, and is only detectable through testing. We us state-of-the-art equipment to check radon levels in the home, which can be mitigated once identified.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging is an advanced tool we use with every inspection that captures images of temperature variations, offering valuable insights for detecting energy waste in HVAC system, heat leaks in buildings, and overloaded electrical circuits. Our product has state-of-the-art features that captures high-resolution images beyond the naked eye and gets us the answers you need!

Drone Aerial Inspections

Drones offer safe, fast, cost-effective inspections for buildings, infrastructure, and large assets. They can capture inaccessible angles without the use of scaffolding or ladders. Drones are also excellent for roof inspections when roofing material is metal, tile, slate, or shake. They are also invaluable when the pitch is too steep or dangerous to walk or when inspecting chimney tops. We use state-of-the-art equipment on every job!

PRE-DYWALL INSPECTION

Having a new-build home inspected during the building process can help catch health and safety issues early and reduce headaches and expenses down the line. A Pre-Drywall inspection will provide a comprehensive check of the property prior to the drywall being installed, allowing the builder time to make repairs and home buyers to move forward with peace of mind.

Condo, Townhouse, Manufactured Home, & Duplex Inspection

Similar to a full home inspection, the home inspector reviews all visual aspects of all major systems and structural components of the home, as well as items specific to these types of home. Our experience in these types of homes, will give you the confidence needed to make an informed decision.

VERBAL CONSULTATION

A verbal consultation can be a valuable tool for a home buyer looking for a fast close, or for a multitude of other reasons. During a verbal consultation we will conduct an on-site consultation covering the major components of the home. This process will include a walk-through of the home with a verbal overview, tips for maintenance and repair, and a final debrief.

TERMITE INSPECTION / WDO

Many pests, such as termites, carpenter ants, or powder post beetles, damage to wood from the inside out – making signs of their infestation less visible. As a result, their presence can go undetected for years and quickly escalate. Therefore, early identification from a Pest Inspection can help protect a homeowner’s investment, potentially thousands of dollars in costly repairs.

Water Quality Testing

Water quality testing is the process of analyzing water samples to determine the presence and concentration of various substances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Buying or selling a home can be a stressful experience, but we’re here to ensure you know what to expect during your home inspection.

What Can I Expect From a Home Inspection?

A home inspection includes checking for any structural issues such as foundation cracks, roof leaks, plumbing issues, electrical wiring, heating/cooling systems, insulation, windows, doors, chimneys, etc. Depending on how big the property is, a home inspection typically takes 2-4 hours.

How Can I Prepare for a Home Inspection?

Ensure all inspection points are free from clutter, including any closets that might lead to a crawlspace or attic, and clearing some space around your home’s perimeter. Keep in mind it’s also important for us to check the functionality of all built-in appliances, electric, and gas. If you don’t plan to attend the inspection, make sure your inspector has access to the home, and all pets are properly contained or moved.

Can a House Fail a Home Inspection?

A home doesn’t pass or fail an inspection. Instead, a home inspection is a thorough audit of your home’s components. In most cases, there will be concerns marked on your home inspection report, but these are strictly informative.

Can I Skip the Home Inspection?

While you can legally skip a home inspection in many cases, doing so could mean you may end up buying a home that has major issues that need to be fixed.

Can a Home Inspector Make Repairs?

In North Carolina a licensed inspector may not perform repairs on a structure they have inspected. This helps to prevent a conflict of interest. However a home inspector may recommend certain repairs. He or she can provide information about what needs to be repaired — and it might be helpful to know that information — but the decision to actually do the work lies solely with the homeowner. This gives you the freedom to choose your contractors.

How Do Home Inspections Affect Appraisals?

A home inspection can affect appraisals for two reasons: 1) The inspector may find something wrong with the property that would lower the value of the home, 2) The inspector may find things that need repair which could increase the value of the home. If the inspection finds issues that require repairs, then the seller has to decide whether they want to fix them themselves, or hire someone else to do it. If the buyer wants to purchase the home, he/she must be willing to pay for those repairs.

At Clear Sky Property Inspections, we are dedicated to empowering you with the knowledge and confidence you need to make one of life’s biggest decisions.
