Eastern Sierra Home Inspection

Our Services

Our home inspections are performed with great care and attention to detail.

Residential Inspections

We know that purchasing a home is one of the largest investments that you’ll make throughout your lifetime. With this in mind, we take care to note every detail possible during the inspection process.

Condo Inspections

Getting a condo inspection isn’t something that people always think about, but it is just as important as getting a home inspection on a residential home. Condos can have many of the same issues that homes can have, so it is important to make sure that the area is a safe place to live!

Rental Inspections

Eastern Sierra Home Inspections offers Transient Rental Inspections. If you have purchased a condo or a home that is zoned for Nightly Rentals the Town of Mammoth Lakes will require a Transient Rental Inspection to ensure that the property meets their Nightly Rental standards and are code compliant per their guidelines. Click here for helpful information such as the Inspection Form (completed by inspector), FAQ and applications.

A home inspection includes checking for any visible structural issues such as foundation cracks, roof leaks, plumbing issues, electrical wiring, heating/cooling systems, insulation, windows, doors, etc. Depending on how big the property is, a home inspection typically takes 3-6 hours or 2-4 hours for a condo 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. It’s also important to check the functionality of all built-in appliances, electric, and gas. 

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.

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.

 

While a home inspector may recommend some minor repairs, they are not qualified to make major 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. Not only does this give you the freedom to choose your contractors, but it also helps prevent a conflict of interest.
