What We Do

Home Inspections

Our clients receive a Virginia Home Inspection Book which is completed as your inspection takes place.  Some of topics in this book include a system by system summary, illustrated narrative sheets that outline problems and repairs as well as maintenance guides. This helpful book will be an essential reference long after your inspection providing you with continued value and savings. 

The process of inspecting a home is a crucial one. Many buyers purchase their home on impulse and find themselves suffering from buyers remorse upon discovering serious flaws in the home itself. At Dr.Tom, we provide our clients with the tools they need to make an educated choice regarding the quality and condition of their potential new home, we inspect for common home defects and not so common ones. By hiring an experienced Virginia home inspector who has your best interest solely in mind, our clients are better able to judge the strengths and weaknesses of the home in which they are under contract to buy and help avoid home buyer's remorse. We will inspect the structure, exterior, drainage, roof, plumbing, electric, heating, thermostats, ac, interior and fireplace. The municipality will inspect the smoke alarms. We will provide home maintenance suggestions and safety tips. Our web site also provides information about Virginia septic inspections, a Walk through home inspection checklist, what to look for when you look for a home and a list of Questions to ask during a home inspection.

All clients of Dr.Tom are encouraged to attend their home inspection, they also receive a subscription to our quarterly news letter and a custom type written report detailing our observations, what is wrong, why it is wrong, what do about it and recommendations of useful upgrades to the property systems. If items are found that are unsafe, hazardous or require further evaluation by an expert, the report tells you so in plain English. Our report is designed to help you save money as well provide peace of mind in your new investment. We also provide radon testing, test well water and provide PWTA tests. 

We know our clients are in a hurry to get their typed report. By the next morning after your inspection we will post your home inspection report to our web site and or fax a copy of your home inspection  report to you and mail copies of the report to you and your attorney. If you wish for friends, relatives or contractors to see your home inspection report you may provide them with the custom web site address that is written on the first page of your Home Inspection Book. 

Buying a new home in Virginia is a huge investment. Making certain that it is safe for your family is the most vital part of the inspection. At Dr.Tom, we guide you through the home inspection process so you can rest assured that you have guaranteed both your investment and your safety.

Money
Let's put things in perspective: If you're buying a $350,000 home and the inspection fee is $600, that's .172% of the cost of the home!  The cost of a Virginia home inspection is a bargain! If the inspection turns up little wrong with the home (few do), you've bought some relatively inexpensive peace of mind. If the inspection finds serious problems (most do), then the few hundred dollars you invest in our home inspection could end up saving you many thousands of dollars.

Please look around our site, and we look forward to hearing from you.  If you have any questions we can be reached at (804)-994-5224, between the hours of 8:00 am and 8:00 pm seven days a week.  Have your home inspected by the inspector who provides Virginia home inspection  training to others.
