Local conditions
Homes throughout Northeast Dallas and East DFW range from established neighborhoods and historic downtown districts to luxury lakefront estates and rapidly expanding master-planned communities. While every property is unique, several regional conditions are commonly evaluated during our inspections.
North Texas is well known for expansive clay soils that expand during wet weather and shrink during periods of drought. During the inspection we visually evaluate accessible areas for observations such as interior drywall cracks, uneven flooring, doors and windows that bind, brick veneer separation, visible foundation cracking where accessible and evidence of previous foundation repairs.
East DFW weather exposes homes to hailstorms, high winds, heavy rain, extreme summer heat, severe thunderstorms and occasional winter weather. Our inspectors visually evaluate accessible roofing materials, flashing, valleys, roof penetrations, chimneys where applicable, general visible wear and drainage patterns.
Reliable heating and cooling are essential throughout North Texas. Our inspections include a visual evaluation of accessible heating operation, cooling operation, thermostat function, airflow, condensate drainage and visible ductwork. Many larger homes contain multiple HVAC systems that are evaluated individually within the inspection scope.
Whether inspecting a historic home in Terrell or a new construction property in Forney, our inspections include a visual evaluation of accessible water supply piping, drain piping, plumbing fixtures, water heaters and visible leaks, plus the main electrical service, distribution panels, branch wiring, receptacles, GFCI protection, AFCI protection where applicable and visible grounding and bonding.
Proper drainage is especially important throughout East DFW because expansive soils can increase the effects of seasonal moisture changes around foundations. Our inspectors visually evaluate accessible site grading, surface drainage, gutters, downspouts, drainage swales where visible and areas where water may collect near the home's foundation. Visible drainage observations are documented in the inspection report.
Homes near Lake Ray Hubbard in Rockwall, Heath and Rowlett may experience environmental conditions that differ from inland properties. Depending on the property's location, our inspection may note visible observations related to site drainage, exterior grading, moisture exposure, decks and exterior structures and retaining walls where accessible. Specialized evaluations of seawalls, docks, bulkheads or shoreline structures may require qualified specialists and are outside the standard TREC home inspection unless specifically contracted.
