Condominium and town home purchases are a very popular choice among first time home owners and smaller families alike in the Chicagoland area. Inspecting a condo or townhome usually takes less time than inspecting a house due to the size, but a thorough inspection of the interior, exterior and common areas is performed to help reveal the condition of the home as well as any concerns that you need to be aware about.

Radon exposure is more prevalent than you probably think - especially if parts of your home are exposed to the foundation, such is the case with single family homes,1st floor condominiums and homes whose HVAC systems originate from the ground floor or the basement level. Radon Testing is not included with our standard home inspection, but testing for radon can be provided as an optional service with several days of advanced notice.
In response to the COVID-19, Chicago Home Inspection Services normally recommends home buyers and their realtors attend the inspection, however we would like to remind you that it is completely optional and to please stay at home if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms or are simply more comfortable doing so.
We are limiting the amount of staff to 1-2 people (most likely just our inspector) and we are utilizing best practices including sanitizing and disinfecting inspection equipment, keeping a safe distance from others and exercising other precautionary measures. We strongly recommend that senior home buyers and senior agents remain at home during inspections throughout the Illinois stay at home mandate.
Rest assured, we still provide detailed inspection reporting, post-inspection consultations and property-related photographs when appropriate.
We at Chicago Home Inspection Services thank you for supporting small businesses and we would like to remind you to stay safe!

Roof Inspection When access is possible, the inspector will also perform an inspection of the roof system and we may also use a high definition camera equipped drone to assist in the roof inspection.
We will examine the installation of the roof covering, and the water-resistant or waterproof moisture barrier material - known as the roof underlayment, as well as the home’s gutters to assess if the construction of the roof follows general best practices so that it can withstand common weather elements to repel water from entering the home.
Plumbing Inspection Home inspectors are responsible for examining the condition of plumbing elements that are visible and accessible to the inspector, as much of the pipe work is located behind the drywall and tiles in the home. The types of materials used and the condition of the material will be examined - as well as the water pressure, hardware and drainage. The water heater and any water using appliances will all be inspected.
Electrical Inspection Inspecting a home's electrical system is of utmost importance, as improper or outdated electrical configurations can pose a serious fire hazard. As part of the inspection, we carefully examine the age, condition and configurations of the electrical service panel, wiring, outlets and more to help assess the safety of the home.
The home's roof, plumbing and electrical are just some of the elements included in a home inspection. We also inspect the home's HVAC, foundation, walls, ceilings, floors and many other components of the home.
We are here to answer any questions about the process or to schedule an appointment. Contact our licensed and certified home inspector today at (773) 510-7138.
