What to Expect From Your Inspection

If you are in need of a home inspection in North Carolina, Annas Home Inspections is here to help. Our certified home inspectors will ensure that you are aware of any potential issues with your current home, or a home that you’re interested in purchasing.

We are focused on education, and our goal is to provide you with all of the information you need about the property in question and its overall condition. We welcome our clients to walk through the home with us and to ask any questions they may have throughout the inspection process.

Annas Home Inspections has a thorough, multi-point checklist that ensures that no stone is left unturned. We will explain the overall, general condition of the home and its systems to you and your agent after your inspection is complete.

In addition, we will compile a comprehensive Spectora report, delivered online via HTML or PDF format, documenting all of our findings, including images, references, and further details. This report will be available for you both in a desktop-friendly format and a mobile format so that you can stay in the loop and check your report even when you’re on the go.

Are Your Home’s Radon Levels Safe?

Radon is a natural, radioactive, invisible, and odorless gas that is produced when uranium in the Earth’s crust decays and turns into radium. Radon is also the number one cause of cancer! Almost every home has it, but a radon test is the only way to make sure your home’s radon levels are safe to breathe.
