How It Works

Built to move as fast as your escrow.

01

Schedule

Most inspections confirmed within the hour — no call center, no hold music.

02

Inspect

A 400-point checklist, roof to foundation — roughly 3 hours on-site, not 45 minutes.

03

Report

Findings tagged by severity with time-stamped photos, in your inbox before you leave the driveway.

04

Decide

Your inspector walks the findings with you live — nothing gets lost in translation before you sign.

Digital Reports

Head to toe.
Nothing left out.

From the roofline down to the foundation — every room, the attic, the crawlspace — we document the true condition of your property and tie it together in one report that's actually easy to read.

Deep Dive — Sewer Line

The pipe you never see costs the most.

Older LA neighborhoods still run on clay and cast-iron laterals that root intrusion and age can collapse without warning. We run a camera the full length of the line so a hidden $20K repair never becomes your problem on move-in day.

Deep Dive — Pool & Spa

Your pool is a system, not a feature.

Pumps, heaters, gas lines, bonding, and barrier code compliance all live behind the equipment pad — and they're the first things buyers forget to check. We test every component and flag anything that isn't up to current safety code.

“We had a general inspector, sewer inspector, termite inspector, and chimney inspector—all coordinated seamlessly. Every inspector arrived on time, was professional, kind, and took the time to clearly explain their findings to my buyers.”

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What does a general inspection include?

Our general inspection covers critical home systems, including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, foundation, and roofing. We check for safety hazards, proper functionality, and remaining service life.

What will my report look like?

An interactive digital report specific to your property, featuring photos, severity tags, and professional recommendations for every system inspected.

When can I expect my report?

Within 24 hours, and often the same day.

Do I need to attend the inspection?

It's not required, but attending gives you a better understanding of the findings and lets you ask questions directly on-site.

Do you inspect pools, chimneys, and sewer lines?

Yes — pool & spa, chimney, and sewer line inspections are all available as add-ons alongside your general inspection.

Is a home inspection required?

It's not mandatory, but it's highly recommended so you can make a fully informed purchasing decision.

Do you offer repair services?

To stay objective, we don't perform repairs ourselves — but we maintain a directory of trusted, vetted contractors we're happy to share.

Are you insured?

Yes. Inspect LA carries both errors & omissions insurance and general liability insurance.

Need a contractor after your inspection? We provide a directory of trusted, vetted referrals — just ask.
