Why Have a Eugene, OR Home Inspection?

Getting a home inspection in Eugene, OR can be an important step in both buying and maintaining a home in Oregon.

Buyers

One of the most common reasons for getting a home inspection in Eugene is when you are buying a home. A licensed home inspector like our Certified Master Inspector, Cody, can help you identify significant defects in the home that can save you time and money later. In addition, a qualified home inspector can help you identify defects that could lead to significant health hazards if left untreated. Nonprofit Home Inspections’ home inspectors receive a tremendous amount of training on top of the state requirements. This additional training and a nonprofit educational focus sets our home inspectors apart from the competition. The result is an outstanding home inspection report that helps our clients reduce risk when purchasing a new home.

Sellers

Getting a home inspection prior to putting your home on the market can help you identify and address potential issues in advance. This advanced knowledge will allow you to better address potential problems in a most cost effective and efficient manner. A pre-listing inspection can also help your home sell faster since the deal won’t be held up by new problems found in the buyer’s home inspection. Getting a pre-listing home inspection will also signal to potential buyers that you are being forthright and honest about the current state of the home. In addition, disclosing known defects prior to the sale helps lock in your selling price as the buyer can’t reasonably ask you to lower the price later for a defect you have already disclosed. Getting a pre-listing home inspection reduces costs and eliminates surprises for everyone.

Maintenance Inspections

When was the last time you inspected your crawlspace or walked your roof? A thorough home inspection can help you as the home owner address small problems before they become much larger and more expensive. A mission driven home inspector will inspect all of the visibly accessible portions of your home. Everything in a home will fail over time, so its important to stay on top of maintenance issues. Minor things like cracked sealant, missing shingles or other defects can lead to expensive repairs if not corrected quickly. Home inspectors are not allowed to repair homes they inspect per state law, but having a generalist home inspector inspect your home from top to bottom will help you know when to call in a contractor or handy person to get repairs completed properly. Unlike many home inspection companies, our reports contain a ton of additional information that allows ambitious homeowners to do their own repairs for many common problems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Eugene, Oregon Home Inspections

Please find below some of the most frequently asked questions about home inspections in Eugene and surrounding communities.

Do you conduct mold inspections in Eugene?

Our licensed home inspectors are able to take mold samples in conjunction with a full home inspection in Eugene. We do not do mold inspections as a stand alone service. The reason is that if there is a mold problem in a home, we believe it is critical to determine what is causing the mold problem. Simply identifying mold in a home is next to useless without understanding the root of the problem. Mold can be caused by a long list of problems including plumbing leaks, roof leaks, lack of insulation, lack of a vapor barrier, flooded crawlspace, improper grading,  etc. As such, we only take mold samples in conjuction with a full home inspection so that our clients have actionable information on how to properly address the root causes of mold growth.

Do you inspection manufactured / mobile homes in Eugene, OR?

Yes, our licensed home inspectors are certified to conduct home inspections on mobile or manufactured homes in Oregon. In addition, our inspectors can provide foundation certifications for mobile and manufactured homes to verify whether or not the homes meet HUD foundation requirements. This is a requirement for some lenders. With their additional certifications, our home inspectors are able to identify common problems with mobile homes including the use of polybutylene plumbing, aluminum wiring, low slope roofs, etc.

Do you re-inspect after repairs have been completed?

Yes, we can do what is called a “re-inspection” after repairs have been completed. We do recommend making sure that repairs are being made by licensed, qualified contractors who will guarantee their work. Similarly, it is sometimes best to request funds to cover repairs rather than asking the seller to make the repairs themselves. If repairs are requested, the seller has a financial incentive to select the cheapest contractor possible who may do sub standard work. We believe it is best to hire contractors yourselves that you have fully vetted and who are responsible to you if there is a problem down the line. We are happy to inspect other contractors’ work if necessary – just let us know!
