Inspection Services

General Home Inspections

A general home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house. This includes the home's HVAC, interior plumbing system, electrical system, roof, attic and visible insulation, walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, and the foundation. This also included the basement and structural components of the home.

Pre-listing Inspection

Having a pre-listing inspection puts YOU in control as the home seller. A pre-listing inspection provides you, the seller, with upfront information about the condition of your property. This will strengthen your negotiating position and put you steps ahead of the selling process.

Pre-Drywall Inspection

“Pre-drywall” refers to the stage during the homebuilding process, just after the installation of certain elements – such as the doors, windows, foundation, flooring, wall and roof components, plumbing and electrical rough-in – and right before the drywall is hung. Having an inspection during this phase is beneficial because drywall can obscure some aspects of the interior and make identifying or fixing any problems both difficult and expensive, once the home is completely finished.

11-Month Home Warranty Inspection

An 11-month home warranty inspection is an inspection that is performed right before the builder’s warranty expires. (This also includes seller-provided/buyer-provided warranties. This is crucial in finding and fixing any undetected or new issues before your warranty expires.

Radon Testing

Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs naturally outdoors in harmless amounts. However, when breathed in over an extended period of time, it can cause lung cancer. Radon levels are usually the highest in the basement or crawl space of the home. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), all homeowners should have their homes tested for radon. Radon has been found in all 50 states and it's impossible to predict which homes are safe without a test.

Mold Testing

Mold is a fungus that thrives on moisture and can be found both inside and outside of your home.
A mold inspection is recommended if you notice a strong musty smell. Mold could be growing behind drywall or in a dark area. This is why it is recommended to have mold testing completed by a qualified and licensed professional.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging is great for identifying signs of water damage in the walls, floors, and ceilings. It This process detects the difference in temperature between wet areas and surrounding dry areas. It can help detect moisture issues that would not be visible during a limited visual home inspection.

Mold Indoor Air Sampling

We collect air samples for mold in areas of concern. Our tests can determine the presence of mold and also determine which specific spores and amounts are present.

Well Water Testing

All homeowners should test their well water annually for total coliform bacteria, nitrates, total dissolved solids, and pH level.

Lead-Based Paint Testing

This consists of a surface-by-surface investigation to determine whether there is lead-based paint present. It is strongly recommended that all homes built prior to 1978 be tested for lead lead-based paint.

Sewer Scope Inspections

A sewer scope inspection involves the use of a specialized camera to inspect the condition of the sewer line that runs from the house to the main sewer line.

Multi-family/ Apartment Inspections

Much like a general inspection, our multi-family and apartment inspections involve a thorough assessment of each unit. It is important to have each unit inspected as there may likely be issues/concerns that are unique to each indivual unit.

FHA Foundation Certificates

According to FHA Inspection Requirements, the foundation on all Mobile Homes must meet certain criteria showing structural stability and for this, an Engineering Certification will be required.

Prime Palmetto was very thorough and they stand behind their work. They took the time to explain the details of my home inspection and answer all of my questions which gave me a sense of security at my closing. Definitely using them again.

Josh G

This was our first home purchase and we were very hesitant about the inspection piece. Quincy took the time to explain everything to us in great detail and answer any questions we had. He was professional, polite, and extremely thorough during the inspection. We could not be there since we are military and in a different state but his report was very detailed and had great pictures and explanations of everything. Would highly recommend home to anyone who needs an inspection. Very happy! Thank you!

Marci B

Naila Morris

Quincy is a thorough, detailed, and integral inspector. He found material facts that weren’t identified during a previous quality inspection. Quincy’s focus is always on the long term outcome and experience of a client in their home and for that, I and my clients are forever grateful. He is second to none.

Patricia Foster

I used Prime Palmetto to inspect my new build. Quincy was extremely prompt, professional, thorough, and affordable. He explained every finding to me and answered all my questions. I was so pleased with the inspection of my home that I will be using this company to reinspect my home, in ten or eleven months--ensuring any defects are identified and addressed, prior to my new home warranty expiring.

Sierra Jenkins-Allen

Quincy with PRIME Palmetto is phenomenal!! His work is exceptional and he’s very knowledgeable. His turn around time was remarkable even my realtor was amazed my the results. He made me feel really comfortable from the beginning to the end, and was flexible with the scheduling that my mortgage team need. Thank you for making my inspection a breeze.

Dan DeFoe

Quincy performed our final new build home inspection and provided a very thorough, helpful report on the items of concern that he identified. We provided the report to the builder’s project manager and an action plan will be made to remedy the issues. Quincy is very responsive, attentive, and helpful. The systems used by Quincy are convenient and customer friendly. Quincy is a credit to his profession. We’re very happy with his service and glad that he’s in our corner. We highly recommend Quincy Barrett and his company.

We recently had our new home inspected by Mr. Barrett from Prime Palmetto HomeInspection, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the service. He was extremely thorough, professional, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain all the findings in detail and answered all our questions patiently. The report was comprehensive and easy to understand, highlighting both major issues and minor concerns. Mr. Barrett also provided helpful recommendations for future maintenance. We feel much more confident about our home purchase thanks to his expertise. Highly recommend Prime Palmetto Home Inspection to anyone in need of a reliable home inspection!
