Property Inspections Fall Edition
At AmeriSpec Home Inspection Service of Bloomington
MN, we always perform a complete and thorough inspection of every home we walk
through, no matter what season it is. But, the season does have a bearing on
the priority of certain home improvement projects. During the fall, we like to
get you on the fast track to winter preparations. Our experienced team of TwinCities property inspectors will take the time to point out some items that will
be particularly important for your comfort during the winter.
Furnace Evaluation

While we're performing your inspection, we'll do a basic inspection to make sure the furnace is functioning properly. Here are a few items we'll pay particular attention to:

Fireplace & Chimney Assessment
If the home you're buying has a fireplace, you'll want to be able to enjoy it on cold winter nights. You'll need to have a more in-depth chimney inspection performed by a professional when you officially purchase the home, but we can provide you a basic analysis. Your assigned AmeriSpec representative will visually examine the chimney and fireplace for any obvious signs of damage. If damage is present, you'll have time to get it repaired before you try to build a fire.

Home Exterior Examination
Aspects of the home's exterior that contribute to the overall temperature inside your home includes insulation and exterior building material. We'll provide you with some concise information on the state of the home's exterior. We can make recommendations for upgrades if they are necessary. If you're paying money to heat your home, you'll want that heat to say where it belongs, inside! Improving energy efficiency is never a bad thing, especially in older homes.
