What does a home inspection in Savage actually cover?

A full inspection in Savage is a top-to-bottom visual evaluation of the home's major systems and components. We examine the roof and flashing, exterior grading and drainage, foundation, structure, attic and insulation, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, water heater, built-in appliances, windows, doors, and interior surfaces. Because Savage sits along the Minnesota River bluffs, we pay particular attention to lot grading, downspout discharge, and basement moisture, since hillside lots can channel water toward foundations. We check the sump pump and visible drain tile, look for ice-dam damage at eaves and valleys, and inspect the foundation walls for the step cracking common in expansive clay soils. In the newer subdivisions we scrutinize kick-out flashing, deck ledger attachment, and negative grading that builders sometimes leave behind. You receive a detailed digital report with photos, summaries, and clear next steps, usually within 24 hours. We inspect for safety and function, not cosmetics or code compliance.
