Dakota Home Inspections provides in-depth inspections for buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals. Our reports include photos, prioritized findings, and actionable recommendations.
A full structural, mechanical, and safety-focused evaluation of the property. This includes examining the foundation, roofing, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC, exterior grading, drainage, insulation, attic, crawlspaces, appliances, doors, windows, and every visible and accessible component of the home. Our inspectors document issues with photos, explain severity levels, recommend next‑steps, and help you clearly understand the overall condition before making major financial decisions.
Designed specifically for buyers, this inspection identifies hidden defects, safety hazards, outdated materials, water intrusion risks, structural weaknesses, and mechanical wear‑and‑tear that sellers may not disclose. We assess repair urgency, estimate potential costs, and help you negotiate with confidence. This service is highly recommended before signing a final contract.
Advanced thermal imaging and moisture diagnostics reveal hidden issues not visible to the eye—such as insulation gaps, water leaks inside walls, overheating electrical components, air leakage, roof moisture penetration, mold‑prone areas, and plumbing problems behind surfaces. This helps prevent expensive repairs by detecting early‑stage damage before it spreads.
