Gene Walshaw is a HITA Certified Master Home Inspector. The Home Inspectors of Tennessee Association requires its members to follow strict Protocols and Procedures during an inspection. He also has his own “Ten Commitments for Excellent Service”.
Follow Gene as he does a typical detailed home inspection…………
|
 |
A HITA inspector shall state the conditions of an Electrical System as they exist.
“Your safety is my most important priority!”
|
 |
A HITA inspector shall state conditions of visible plumbing pipes, valves, joints, fasteners, and other accessories that exist. “Most home inspectors do not check your water supply pressure. High water pressure is the number one cause of insurance claims for water damage!”
|
 |
A HITA inspector shall examine the condition of floors, walls, and ceilings.
“My clients tell me I am the most thorough home inspector they have ever hired. Attention to details guarantees a great inspection.”
|
 |
A HITA inspector must state the conditions of the roof and all components thereof that exist.
“The U.S.A. is one of the few industrialized countries in the world installing “temporary” roofs on homes. The average roof in America lasts less than 20 years. I concentrate heavily on this structural component.” |
 |
A HITA inspector should examine foundations, walls, piers, pillars, supports, beams, etc. “East Tennessee soil is mostly ‘expansive clay.’ A skilled home inspector can determine if a foundation crack is a minor or major concern and then make appropriate recommendations.”
|
|
A HITA inspector must examine a
representative number of exterior doors and windows “Even the best of Builders have trouble installing double exterior doors properly. Dave finds many ‘French’ doors with hidden rot due to poor weatherproofing techniques. Also, improper hinge screw sizes often lead to future sagging” |
|
 |
A HITA inspector must examine the coverings of exterior walls.
“Water can penetrate through a crack as small as 1/100th of an inch. The longevity of a house depends heavily on its ability to resist water intrusion.”
|
 |
A HITA home inspector shall examine the conditions of the heating/cooling systems as they exist. “As a former fire damage restoration contractor I restored hundreds of homes injured from fires caused by faulty heating systems. This experience has been invaluable for inspecting furnaces, heat pumps, and other heat sources.”
|
 |
“Many times I go beyond the minimum standards that most inspectors use to examine a home. I have thousands of dollars invested in state-of-the-art equipment to locate potential hidden defects.”
