frequently asked questions
Q. Should I be present for the home inspection?
A. Yes, you are encouraged to attend the entire inspection. The findings of
the inspection are best explained during the inspection process. Onsite,
the client has the opportunity to ask questions in person and learn important
maintenance details.
Q. Do you access roofs and crawl spaces?
A. Yes, in the vast majority of cases. However, if the inspector considers
it unsafe to crawl under a house or walk on a roof, the inspection of
these
items
may
be limited. Examples of unsafe consitions would be snow or ice on the
roof, lightening strikes
while trying to access a roof, water pooling under a house or the
inspector just
can't fit under a house.
Q. Should my realtor receive a copy of the inspection report?
A. Yes. Your realtor should be assisting you in determining if any items in the report are significant enough to warrant negotiation with the seller.
Q. Are you available to answer questions after I move into the home?
A. Yes, we want to assist you any way we can in clarifying the information
in the report even after you've moved in to your new home.
Q. Do you do repairs?
A. No, we do not perform repairs on homes we inspect. We exclusively
perform inspections and point out things that need immediate repairs
and potentially
need to be repaired.
Q. Do I need a WDI report?
A. Not necessarily. However, it is highly recommended as termites
are a common problem in the state of Texas. There is a 65%
chance of getting
termites
when a slab foundation house is 20 years or older. We provide
a free WDI report on all properties except condos.
Q. Why should I choose TexCode?
A. We've been in business since 1998 and have survived the
down turns in the economy because of our high referral rates.
Our goal
is to give
you more
than you expect. With an approval rate at over 99%, you can
choose TexCode with confidence. With TexCode, you know you'll
be informed
before, during
