Comprehensive property inspections
Chicago Properties Demand Deeper Inspection
Chicago homes present unique inspection challenges that standard home inspectors often miss. Properties over fifty years old may have knob-and-tube wiring, deteriorating clay sewer lines, and foundation issues from decades of freeze-thaw cycles. The lake-effect moisture and harsh winters accelerate wear on exteriors, roofing, and mechanical systems in ways that require Chicago-specific expertise to evaluate properly.
Our inspections go beyond checking boxes on a standard form. We use combustion analyzers to test furnace efficiency and detect heat exchanger problems, thermal imaging to find hidden moisture and insulation gaps, and gas detectors to verify pipe joint integrity. When we assess older properties, we evaluate structural capacity for your planned improvements—not just current condition.
The result is a detailed report with photos, findings ranked by priority, and realistic cost projections for any repairs. You gain negotiating power, accurate budgeting for renovations, and a clear understanding of what the property actually needs—before closing.
