Home Inspection Companies in Park City

Once you have an accepted offer on your new Park City home, you are then "Under Contract" (in escrow), and your Buyer's Due Diligence period begins. Typically, you will have about two weeks to complete inspections and evaluations of the property.

One of the first steps is to hire a home inspector. When you hire a home inspector, you are engaging an experienced professional with training and background in the building industry. The home inspector's job is not only to evaluate the condition of the house's major systems and structural integrity but also to assess how these systems work together and to identify areas that need monitoring, repair, or replacement. A home inspection service is a visual assessment of the structural elements and accessible systems. This generally includes the foundation, roofing, exterior walls, siding, porches, decks, attic, electrical systems, plumbing systems, interior, doors, windows, heating and air conditioning systems, ventilation, and fireplaces.

Your home inspector provides a Big Picture analysis of the house you are purchasing. If the home inspector finds the need for a costly, detailed review of any of the house's systems or structures, they will recommend the appropriate professional, which could be an experienced engineer with expertise in analyzing that specific system or structure. Such detailed analysis is rarely necessary. More often, there are several smaller concerns to address, either requiring professional explanation of potential issues or quotes on the costs to fix them. Regardless, with the home inspector's assistance, we serve as your guide throughout this process.

For most of our buyers, they are out of state while the inspection is being done, so we typically meet the inspector at the home to ensure they get in ok and get started, and to answer any accessibility or system questions. We let the inspector do their job (usually takes a few hours). At the end, we often meet the inspector again at the property so they can visually show us anything of concern that may require additional investigation. That way, we can start coordinating with contractors or professionals more quickly and precisely to resolve questions or get repair estimates.

Here are some recommended items to include in your home inspection and evaluation process. For a complete list of Buyer Due Diligence items, ask us for a copy of our Utah Association of REALTORS® Buyer Due Diligence Checklist. If you're already under contract to buy a new Park City home, we likely have provided you with this 3-page form to sign.

PHYSICAL CONDITION
Buyers should consult with appropriate professionals about all physical features of the Property, including, but not limited to: built-in appliances; plumbing fixtures, lines, fittings, and systems; heating and air conditioning systems and parts; electrical wiring, systems, appliances, and components; foundation; roof; structure; exterior surfaces (such as stucco); exterior features and equipment; pool and spa systems and parts; any diseased trees or other landscaping; and moisture seepage or damage from the roof, foundation, or windows. Buyers are advised not to rely on the Seller, the Company, or any of the Company's agents for judgments about the physical condition of the Property.

MOLD
Buyer is advised to consult with appropriate professionals to assess the potential presence of mold in the property. Water leaks and water damage may lead to mold that can have adverse health effects. Additional information about mold is available through the EPA at: www.epa.gov.

RADON
Buyers are advised to consult with appropriate professionals to determine if there are excessive levels of radon gas in the property. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in homes across the United States. High levels of radon can pose health risks. The EPA and the Surgeon General recommend testing all homes for elevated radon levels. More information is available at www.radon.utah.gov and through the Utah Department of Environmental Quality’s Environmental Hotline at 1-800-458-0145.

GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
Buyer is advised to consult with appropriate professionals regarding potential geologic conditions at or near the Property. These conditions may include, but are not limited to, soil and terrain stability, the presence of wetlands, drainage issues, and any building and/or zoning requirements related to such geologic conditions.

What if the Property Needs Repairs?

The home inspector will provide a detailed report and will be available for you to call with questions. Often, home inspectors rate appliances and equipment as "marginal, due to age," which is common for items that are not brand new. You will also receive a list of potential issues to address. Some may be major, but most are typically minor and still need to be fixed, repaired, or replaced. When you're ready to determine the costs and importance of repairs, we can assist you in coordinating them.
