Call (321) 985-3339Vacant, seasonal and new-build homes
Vacant or seasonal homes. Eagle has its share of second homes and houses that sat empty while listed. A home with the water on and the heat low through a winter, or closed up through a hot summer, is worth a closer look.
New construction. Framing that got rained or snowed on before it was dried in can carry mold into the walls. Ask whether the inspector can take moisture readings on framing during a pre-drywall walkthrough.
Homes on wells. Well water and pressure systems add a mechanical room and sometimes a separate pump house to the scope.
Common questions
Does a bigger home cost more to inspect?
Typically, yes. Inspection time and the number of samples increase with size and complexity. Agreeing on the scope up front avoids surprises.
How many air samples does a large home need?
It depends on the layout. Many inspectors take one sample per HVAC zone or per floor, plus an outdoor baseline.
Can an inspection be done before drywall in a new build?
Yes. A pre-drywall moisture check of the framing can catch construction moisture before it’s sealed in.
