Albert Lea Home Inspection: Structural Inspection (507) 721-0122

This type of inspection is intended to evaluate the condition of the evident foundation performance, roof, and structure of the building in order to provide information related to their condition and an opinion as to whether they are in need of repair. The data obtained and included in this type of report will provide insight into the overall condition of the property and information that will assist in maintaining it in the best possible condition during future years.

The scope of this inspection includes visual observations of those portions of the foundation, roof, and structural components readily visible without moving or removing items causing visual obstruction. It is specifically pointed out that unless otherwise indicated, determining compliance with electrical codes is not included as a part of this cursory inspection.

Inspections to some areas of the structure may be limited by safety or site conditions, with the most common limitations related to direct access at the roof or entry to the crawlspace. Access to some areas, such as the crawlspace, may require an additional fee. If you have concern about, or know of special conditions, they should be discussed with the office upon setting up an inspection.

Structural only inspections are normally used for:

• Homeowner Information – To provide an unbiased opinion of the structural performance.
• Refinancing -Some financial institutions may require evaluations of the structural systems performance.
• Pre-Purchase Contracts -Under some circumstances, a buyer may choose to have only the structure of the building evaluated based on the condition or intended use for the property.
