Beware of Bad Air in New Construction Homes
April 5, 2021
As construction and energy experts, we perform the most rigorous inspections in the industry.
Customers trust Insight to provide the best home inspection services in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. Our inspectors are licensed by the State of Illinois and certified by the International Association of Home Inspectors. Whether you are looking for pre-sale inspections, new construction, commercial, or full-service home inspections, we have the professionals you need.
A pre-purchase home inspection helps you understand the condition of the home you’re hoping to purchase. We look at a few hundred items in a typical home in just a few hours, focusing on the major systems – our main priority is safety, durability, and maintenance.
Home inspections are a snapshot of a home’s condition that can be referenced for decades with proper record keeping. An insightful report can be used as bargaining power for either party, for peace of mind, and as an asset evaluation. Identifying a home’s deficiencies or ‘opportunities for improvement’ before buying or selling a property can protect your investment by anticipating repairs before catastrophic damage occurs. As building consultants, Insight offers advice throughout your homeownership.
We are not contractors, but we know some pretty good ones. We are happy to make referrals from within the network of professionals we’ve grown to trust.

A professional home inspection is the buyer or seller’s opportunity to discover problems with the property and assess if the house is ready to sell. It’s also a chance for both parties to negotiate a price based on an unbiased evaluation of the property’s condition and assets. These are the details you can expect to be available in your report:

We will inspect all areas or systems that we can access or operate safely, at the time of the inspection. Cold weather (AC, roof, etc.), snow (roof, grading, decks, etc.) or rain (roof) can limit the scope of your inspection. This is not unusual and our inspectors can look for other signs indicating an issue with those systems. However, any additional visits would require an additional fee. This also applies to homes where the water or gas service was off during the inspection.
