Local conditions
Homes throughout Collin County range from historic residences and established neighborhoods to master-planned communities, executive homes and luxury estates. 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. We visually evaluate accessible areas for interior drywall cracks, uneven flooring, doors and windows that bind, brick veneer separation, visible foundation cracking where accessible and evidence of previous foundation repairs.
North Texas weather exposes homes to hailstorms, high winds, heavy rain, tornadic weather, intense summer heat and rapid seasonal temperature changes. Our inspectors visually evaluate accessible roofing materials, flashing, valleys, roof penetrations, chimneys where applicable, general visible wear and drainage patterns.
Reliable heating and air conditioning are essential throughout North Texas due to hot summers and changing winter temperatures. Our inspections include a visual evaluation of accessible heating operation, cooling operation, thermostat function, airflow, condensate drainage and visible ductwork.
Whether inspecting a historic home in McKinney or a newly built home in Celina, 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/AFCI protection and visible grounding and bonding.
Proper drainage is important throughout Collin County 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.
Many homes in master-planned communities and luxury neighborhoods include professionally installed irrigation systems and extensive landscaping. While irrigation is outside the standard TREC scope unless specifically contracted, our inspectors note visible observations that may affect drainage or foundation performance, including improper grading, standing water, erosion and drainage concerns around hardscape features.
