All Lakes Inspection Services
A home inspection is an important step in owning a home. It is a visual examination of the condition of a home from top (roof) to bottom (foundation). Your home inspector will notice any major issues that could affect the value of the home or make it unsafe to live in.
The initial walkthrough is one part of the inspection process. Your home inspector will thoroughly examine the electrical system, plumbing and draining, HVAC system, and appliances. They will check for any signs of pests or water damage. After the inspection is complete, you will receive a detailed report outlining any problems.

Our Specialization
All Lakes Inspections takes pride in providing comprehensive home inspection services. We make sure to check every inch of the house for structural issues or problems that could result in costly repairs. We’ve become a trusted name for home inspections because we take the time to see the details.
Pre-Listing Inspection
For the pro-active seller. Get your home inspection done before you list. Know what issues may hold up your buyer and fix it before they see it. You can leave the inspection out for potential buyers to review. This may speed up closing as there already a professional inspection completed recently.
Condo Inspection
The difference between a condo inspection and a normal home inspection is the exterior, roofing, structure, crawl space, basement and attic are not inspected because these are maintained by building management and not the responsibility of the owner. We also do not include any shared heating or cooling systems that are maintained by the management.

Common inaccessible areas include:
Our goal is for our clients to be 100 % satisfied with the inspection of the property. We do not want you to feel cheated when we report that we could not access an area. You may wonder why we didn’t just “make” that crawlspace or attic accessible. As you know, there are many reasons why an area may be inaccessible—and many other reasons why the inspector should avoid clearing out obstructions.
Attics and
Crawl Spaces
Access hatches may be in difficult to reach places, or stored boxes may block them. Safety issues—like wild animals, excessive heat, or unsafe footing—may also prevent an inspector from entering). Crawlspaces may be too cramped to enter without the help of a crawl bot. Furthermore, crawlspaces are often home to snakes and other threatening pests.
Roofs
Weather can make roofs difficult to consistently inspect. Rain, snow, and ice can make it unsafe for an inspector to step onto a roof. Even using a drone or binoculars will not guarantee an unobscured view in bad weather.
Cluttered Spaces
Furniture, belongings, and boxes can severely obstruct the inspector’s view. If you can barely walk in a room, chances are you can barely inspect it.
