Buying or selling a home in Los Angeles is a big move—your inspection shouldn’t leave you guessing. At G&E Home Inspection, we combine proven expertise with advanced tools like drone roof inspections and thermal imaging to reveal what you can’t see at a glance. The result: clear answers, fewer surprises, and confident decisions.
What We Inspect (Beyond the Basics)
A great inspection looks at the whole property, not just the “pretty parts.” Here are the core systems we evaluate—and why they matter:
- Roof & Attic (with Drone View, When Needed)
We assess shingles or tile, flashing, drainage, penetrations, and attic ventilation/insulation. Drone angles help us safely check areas that are difficult or unsafe to access. - Foundation & Basement/Crawlspace
We look for cracks, moisture intrusion, settlement indicators, and structural red flags that can impact safety and long-term value. - Exterior Envelope
Siding, stucco, grading, and drainage—critical for preventing water damage and premature wear. - Electrical System
Panel, breakers, visible wiring, GFCI/AFCI protection, outlets, and fixtures—safety and capacity checks are key. - Plumbing
Supply lines, drains, visible piping, fixtures, water heater, and a water-pressure test to spot performance issues. - HVAC
Heating, cooling, ducting, filtration, and general operation to gauge comfort and efficiency. - Interior
Walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, and stairs/rails—signs of moisture, movement, or improper installation. - Kitchen & Laundry Areas
Venting, appliance hookups, supply/drain checks, and safety items around heat and water. - Bathrooms
Ventilation, fixture function, tile/caulking, and moisture-prone areas that can hide issues. - Garage/Carport
Fire separation, door operation/safety reversals, receptacles, and visible structure. - Thermal Imaging Scan
Infrared can help identify hidden moisture, insulation gaps, and temperature anomalies not obvious to the eye. - Site & Safety Items
Walkways, railings, gates, retaining elements, and general safety observations around the property.
Why Advanced Tools Matter in L.A.
- Drone Roof Inspections: Many LA homes have roofs that are steep, high, or complex. Drone views help us evaluate details safely and thoroughly.
- Thermal Imaging: Useful for detecting potential moisture or insulation issues early—before they become costly repairs.
When to Schedule Your Inspection
- Buyers: As soon as your offer is accepted—so you have time to negotiate repairs or credits.
- Sellers (Pre-Listing): Find and fix issues before you hit the market to prevent last-minute surprises.
- Homeowners: A periodic checkup keeps small problems from turning into big ones (especially after major storms or renovations).
