Mechanical Strategic Assessment

Service Description

We do not replace the home inspector. We strategically enter the process after the general inspection report is issued to perform a focused mechanical risk evaluation. ⸻ When Do We Step In? After the licensed home inspector completes the general inspection, our mechanical team: ✔ Reviews the full inspection report ✔ Identifies all findings related to HVAC, water heaters, and safety devices ✔ Performs a deeper technical mechanical evaluation ✔ Clarifies real risks vs minor observations ✔ Provides strategic documentation to support negotiation This second-layer analysis reduces uncertainty before closing. ⸻ What Systems Do We Evaluate?
