Protect your investment before you buy!
Know the condition of your Coastal Dream Home before you own it. Peace of mind starts with a professional evaluation.
Pre-Purchase Moisture & Construction Defect Evaluation
Before you purchase your dream home, let Bray Building Consultants inspect the property for hidden moisture intrusion, mold concerns, construction defects, and building envelope issues that may not be identified during a standard home inspection. Our evaluation helps uncover potential problems before they become costly repairs, giving you peace of mind before closing.
This evaluation can be performed during or in conjunction with your standard home inspection for as little as $1,000.
Following the inspection, Bray Building Consultants will provide a detailed written report documenting the condition of the home, identifying any areas of concern, and offering professional recommendations so you can make an informed purchasing decision with confidence.
Evaluation includes:
- Roof – signs of leaks, improper flashing, drainage issues, and installation defects.
- Exterior walls and siding – cracks, gaps, improper installation, and water intrusion points.
- Windows and doors – failed seals, improper flashing, gaps, and evidence of leaks.
- Foundation – cracks, settlement, drainage concerns, and moisture intrusion.
- Attics and crawl spaces – ventilation, insulation, condensation, and signs of mold or moisture.
- Balconies, decks, and porches – waterproofing and structural concerns.
- Exterior drainage – grading, gutters, downspouts, and how water is directed away from the home.
- Moisture testing – using moisture meters and, when appropriate, infrared thermography to identify hidden moisture.
- Evidence of mold or organic growth – identifying conditions that promote mold growth and determining whether further testing is recommended.
