Certified Home Inspections

Rümi Home Inspections start by connecting you with an independent, certified home inspector. We trust with our homes and we’re confident you can trust them too.
CERTIFIED HOME INSPECTIONS

Home inspections for peace of mind.

A new house is a big investment, full of opportunities. Behind all your plans for upgrades to make your house a home are all the behind-the-scenes things that make your house functional. A home inspection helps make sure you know what's going on behind the walls and under the roof.

Rümi Home Inspections start by connecting you with an independent, certified home inspector. Someone we’d trust with our homes, and we’re confident you can trust them with yours.

During the inspection, they’ll look at the foundation and basement, and then work the way to the roof and attic, paying close attention to electrical, plumbing, heating and water systems.

The home inspector will provide you with a report of any repairs, construction issues or maintenance problems, and call out any fire and safety concerns that need to be addressed.

At the end of it all, they’ll let you know what’s up with the home – and what issues might let you down. They’ll also share with you a list of minor issues, major concerns and what the priority is in any items that need to be addressed. We want to make sure you’re fully educated on the condition of the home.

What to Expect

There’s a lot to be covered in a Home Inspection, so it helps to get ready for the big day. Before the certified independent home inspector sets foot in your home, please: 

  • Make sure there’s enough time – normally they need 4 hours in your home. You can choose to hang out with them the entire time, just for a while, or not at all. 
  • Please turn off any alarms when the inspector is present. 
  • Bring any additional keys for garages and outbuildings. 
  • Remove or crate any pets.
  • Have the utilities and any pilot lights on (if the home is empty). 
  • Make sure all lights, electrical sockets and fans work. 
  • Confirm all smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are working. 
  • Make sure all windows and doors are opening and closing as they should be.
