Home Buyer and Seller
Services

Wherever you are in your real estate transaction, WIN Home Inspection Forest City can help. WIN Forest City provides a thorough, objective analysis of your home whether you are a homeowner, buyer or seller from a Pre-Listing Inspection to a Full Home Inspection.

WIN Full Home Inspection

A WIN full home inspection is a visual, non-invasive inspection of many different components of the home using state-of-the-art equipment and innovative technology. We bring care and compassion to each inspection, and a consultative approach focused on solutions.

During the inspection, your highly trained and certified home inspector will examine the home and major systems including site, foundation, roofing, exterior, interior, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC where accessible and safe to do so. A detailed, visual, and easy-to-read report complete with recommendations for maintenance and repair will be delivered within 24 hours (often the same day).

Pre-Listing Inspection

Many home sellers opt for a pre-listing inspection prior to placing their home on the market. Along with providing a professional and personalized evaluation of the home, WIN Home Inspectors deliver a detailed home inspection report that includes recommendations for repairs and next steps. This report allows home sellers to make repairs and address issues early, which can improve home value and even help the home sell faster!

Condo, Townhome, Manufactured Home, Duplex Inspection

WIN Home Inspectors have the training and experience to provide essential home inspection services for homes of all types and ages. We’ve got you covered with personalized inspection for condominium, townhome, duplex, and manufactured home inspection. The thorough home inspection and easy-to-read report will cover the home and major systems, but some common areas controlled by the homeowner's association may fall outside of the inspection scope.

Home Buyer Consultation

WIN Home Inspection provides home buyer consultations for homes that have already been inspected by WIN. We will review and explain the home inspection report and answer any questions you may have.

Light Commercial Inspection

WIN Home Inspectors are here to help with the due diligence process in purchasing a commercial and multiplex property. We use state-of-the art equipment and innovative technology to provide a comprehensive report covering the current condition of the property, including digital photos and recommendations to help plan for ongoing and upcoming maintenance and safety.

One Year Anniversary

A One Year Anniversary home inspection is performed approximately 30 days before the expiration of the builder's one-year new home warranty to address any warranty-related concerns that you may want to bring to the builder's attention and allows time for any necessary repairs before the warranty expires.

Move In Inspection

A Move In home inspection is ideal when your newly constructed home is finished and ready for occupancy, but prior to the final walk through by the builder. You get critical information about your new home prior to closing, giving the builder time to make any necessary corrections before the purchase is finalized.

Wood Destroying Organisms / Insects (WDO/WDI) Inspection

Wood Destroying Organisms/Insects (WDO/WDI) such as termites, ants, dry rot, and other destructive organisms can cause significant structural damage in a home, as well as expose residents to health issues. Professional WDO/WDI Pest Inspection can check the home for current and past issues, as well as potential risk factors. Your certified WIN Home Inspector can also provide the forms needed for an FHA/VA loan.

Radon Test

Radon is an odorless, colorless, and naturally occurring radioactive gas that can cause serious health issues over time. It is the #1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, and is only detectable through testing. A trained WIN professional uses state-of-the-art equipment to check radon levels in the home, which can be mitigated once identified.

Pool & Spa Inspection

Professional pool and spa inspection by WIN provides a detailed report on the current condition of the pool and checks for safety issues, including for pool interior, pool lighting, tile and deck, and pool equipment such as pumps, filter, heater, and other accessories. This helps home buyers and owners address issues early before they become larger expenses.

Septic Inspection

Problems with the septic tank can lead to sewage backup, structural damage, and health issues. In a standard septic inspection by your WIN Home Inspector, all the visible components of the septic system are examined and a dye test is performed to check for leaks.

Water Quality Test

Water contaminants such as bacteria and nitrates can cause serious health issues and even structural damage to the home water system. WIN Home Inspection professionals partner with accredited laboratories to test the water quality in the home and protect home and health.

Well Flow Test

Well Flow Testing (also known as 'well pump performance') by a trained WIN Home Inspector checks for needed repairs or adjustments to a home’s water flow. During the test, the inspector will determine the rate at which the home well is able to supply a steady flow of water and simulate normal water usage to help identify any issues.

Mold Test

Mold growth in the home can cause serious structural damage and pose a threat to human health. Trained WIN Home Inspectors check for hidden mold growth using specialized equipment to collect air samples, and can also provide mold surface sample testing for visible mold issues. We partner with accredited laboratories to provide professional and fast test results to home owners, buyers, and sellers.

Infrared Scan (IR)

Some potential issues in the home, such as missing insulation or overloaded electrical circuits are not visible to the naked eye. Infrared (IR) thermography allows WIN Home Inspectors to help identify otherwise hidden issues using innovative technology. Once identified, these issues can be proactively addressed, which can result in lower energy bills and a safer home.
