Condo Inspection

A condo is a very significant investment and a important one for future home owners. After 20 years in home inspection industry, we understand that condominiums are different than houses. However, we also understand that inspecting condominiums is critically important. That is even more true today with buyers having to put every available financial resource into a down payment. There is no money for sudden unexpected expenses like failed heating and cooling systems, appliance breakdowns, shower stall leaks, water damage and mold.

At Home Inspector Iowa, we have home inspectors who are specially trained to assess condos. They do not inspect the condo as if it were a home but recognize that it is a very different type of dwelling in the inspections are performed accordingly. Our condo inspections include:

  1. A visual inspection from top to bottom and all components in the unit
  2. An inspection of, and consultation on, the systems within your unit, focusing on their current condition and how they should be maintained
  3. A detailed investigation of all major appliances
  4. A check for manufacturer recalls on appliances.
  5. A detailed inspection report (link to sample report) that documents the condition of systems, components and appliances, including illustrations, photos and maintenance advice

Your home inspector will also offer ancillary services to our customers while they are there including,FLIR Thermal imaging, Home Energy Audit, Mold Inspection, Pool and Spa Inspection and Termite Inspection.

A condo inspection also helps you understand your property so you can know where to turn off the water in an emergency, understand how to clean the clothes dryer exhaust duct, change the air filters, etc. think of your condo inspection as a course in homeownership.
