Rhinelander property

What we look hardest at here.

Lake and woods property, much of it seasonal, much of it on private well and septic. Long winters and properties that sit unoccupied drive most of what we find.

The standard inspection covers the whole building either way — structure, roof, exterior, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, insulation, basement, crawl space and attic. What changes from region to region is where the inspector spends the extra twenty minutes.

Frozen lines, pest entry and moisture in buildings that sit closed half the year.

Well and septic
Standard for the area, and both worth testing before closing.

Log and timber structure
A specialism here rather than an oddity.

Framing, sheathing and the ventilation that prevents ice damming.

Where we draw the line

We inspect. We do not repair.

Our code of ethics forbids our inspectors from performing repairs or estimating repair costs on a property they have inspected. An inspector who can profit from the problems he finds has a reason to find them.

We tell you plainly what is wrong and how serious it is. You hire a licensed contractor to price and fix it. If you want us back afterwards to confirm the work, we re-inspect at a minimal fee.
