Wow, that sounds like a lot! How long does it take to do one?
It is a lot. Pristine’s home inspections will normally take 3 to 3.5 hours. Longer is not unusual. We give you your money’s worth. We inspect by checklist to ensure nothing is missed, and there is no rush. The #1 most important job we are doing today is your home.
How long until I get my report?
If you are present at the close of the inspection, you will receive a briefing on the findings of the inspection, review the inspector’s field notes and can have any questions answered on the spot. The report will then be prepared at our office and will be available the next day in most cases. If a report is needed the same day, a guaranteed same-day narrative report will be published. The full report with detailed photos will follow. The report will be published online; you will be sent an email immediately after publishing with the link to the report and can view it right then. Since the report’s URL is unique and private, confidentiality is maintained. The report can also be converted to a PDF and sent to you via email for your permanent files. If a printed copy is required we will provide, however a small printing / mailing charge may apply due to large page count and photographic content.
Note: It takes about 4 hours of dedicated office work to produce a report of Pristine’s quality. Remember, the report is what you are paying for. Some companies do a quick summary, hand you their report in your front yard and are gone. Others will give you several pages of checkboxes. Not with Pristine. Our sharp, captioned digital photography clearly shows you what the report is describing. We explain what type of system you have, it’s general condition and then explain and illustrate any detailed findings. You need to be as informed as possible about your property of interest, and we are as proud of our reporting as we are of our inspections. It’s your money, get the most for it.
Mold Inspection
Mold can be a big problem for us Floridians. Our warm temperatures and high humidity can combine to produce nearly perfect conditions for mold growth inside the home. A water leak anywhere in the home can produce mold within 24 hours. Once established, mold can be toxic to humans and pets with symtoms ranging from headaches, flu-like symptoms, sinusitis and dermatitis, and in extreme cases digestive upset, bronchitis and several forms of pneumonia.
It is very important for your family to be protected from the harmful effects of mold. If you believe you have a mold problem in your home, call Pristine Home Inspection today for a mold screening inspection that will give you peace of mind. We will inspect all susceptible areas and take samples for analysis, then give you our published report of the inspection including the laboratory analysis results. If you have discovered mold in your home, call us immediately. We will visually inspect to determine the cause of the mold growth. We can then take swab, bulk and/or air samples for laboratory analysis. The results will help determine the severity of the problem for remediation.

Pest Inspection
The warm climate that Florida enjoys is also appreciated by harmful insects, rodents and wood destroying organisms like mold and fungus. It can be a real problem when they insist on taking up residence in your home. Every Pristine report will contain a section on Wood Destroying Insects and Organisms (WDI/WDO) and detail if any were found during the inspection. If a visit from the exterminator is necessary, Pristine will recommend this in the WDI/WDO section.
