Inspection Services Offered by Full Scope Home Inspections Full Scope lives up to its name by offering a complete set of services related to the inspection of your home. We stay until we've seen it all, and conduct a thorough and complete inspection that will give you all of the information you need in order to make the right decisions about your home. Foundation - A crack in your foundation can indicate the resettlement of the foundation, which is all too common in Missouri. Over time, the soil that supports the home can wash away, removing the support structure relied upon when it was built. The result is that the foundation moves and settles, putting strain on the home and causing cracks, leaks and other forms of foundation deterioration to occur. A thorough inspection of the foundation is vital to ensuring that your home is sound, starting from the ground up. Electrical - When it comes to dealing with gas and electricity, it is important to make sure your appliances and wiring are checked by a competent and licenced individual regularly. Faulty wiring can lead to dangerous situations, including fires. Both electric and gas can cause potentially life-threatening problems if devices are not monitored and well maintained. Heating & Cooling - Your home's heating and cooling systems should give you years of service. With a solid inspection and regular preventive maintenance, you can lower your energy costs, prevent costly repairs and prolong the life of your system. Our inspection will help you determine the defects in your current system, as well as the age and expected lifespan. Plumbing - Plumbing systems have the potential to create serious problems if they malfunction. A poorly installed plumbing system can result in serious problems and lead to leaks and water damage around the house. And clogged drain pipes - especially if it is a sewage drain pipe - can lead to genuine health problems for you and your family. Drainage/Exterior Water Mangement - A home without good drainage will always eventually have related issues stemming from a lack of proper water management. Poor drainage can lead to leaks, rotted wood, mold, mildew and soil erosion all around your property that can lead to cracked foundations, and other critical issues. Framing & Structural - Cracking in the center of a wall, particularly diagonal cracking, can be evidence evidence of structural movement as a result of framing or structural defects. It is important to have a professional inspection of the home to determine its framing defects and structural integrity. Gutters & Siding - Functional and defect-free siding and a working gutter system are both important components to your home's exterior. Gutters are put into place to collect and direct the flow of rain water away from your home's structure, and your home's siding is designed to guide rain and minor debris down and away from the home's softer, organic materials materials, which helps to protect against the possibilities of water damage, mold, mildew and even eventual flooding. Windows & Doors - Any openings in structural walls - such as windows and exterior doors - deteriorate over time due to age, usage, wear and tear and exposure to the weather and other natural elements. But shifting foundations and/or a defective structure can lead to gaps, cracks and openings that can greatly effect your home's energy efficiency and security. A thorough inspection and a proper understanding of necessary maintenance can ensure that they remain in good working order for years. Roof & Chimney - A roof and chimney inspection (as well as regular maintenance) is imperative for your roof system to retain its long term value and serve as protection for the rest of your home. A poor inspection may miss early signs of defect and eventually result in premature failure and unexpected and avoidable expenses throughout your home.
