Local conditions
Southern Dallas County features a mix of mature neighborhoods, luxury communities, new subdivisions and expanding commercial corridors. While every property is unique, several regional conditions are commonly evaluated during our inspections.
Much of Southern Dallas County is built on expansive clay soils that naturally expand during wet weather and contract during extended dry periods. We visually evaluate accessible areas for interior drywall cracks, uneven flooring, brick veneer separation, doors and windows that bind, visible foundation cracking where accessible and previous foundation repairs.
Homes throughout Southern Dallas County experience hailstorms, high winds, heavy rainfall, extreme summer temperatures, severe thunderstorms and occasional winter ice events. Our inspectors visually evaluate accessible roofing materials, flashing, valleys, roof penetrations, chimneys where applicable, general visible wear and drainage patterns.
Reliable air conditioning and heating 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. Larger executive homes commonly contain multiple HVAC systems, evaluated individually within scope.
Whether inspecting an established Duncanville home or a newly constructed home in Lancaster, 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 especially important because standing water can contribute to soil movement around a home's foundation. We visually evaluate accessible site grading, surface drainage, gutters, downspouts, drainage swales where visible and areas where water may collect near the foundation. Visible drainage observations are documented in the report.
Many established homes throughout Southern Dallas County feature mature trees and extensive landscaping. We may document visible observations related to tree limbs overhanging roofs, vegetation contacting siding, root systems affecting flatwork, exterior grading, retaining walls where accessible, outdoor living spaces and swimming pools and spas.
If observations indicate additional evaluation may be appropriate, consultation with a qualified structural engineer may be recommended.
