Site Conditions

New York Home Inspectors

At MB Home Inspections, we understand that a thorough inspection of a property in New York State includes not only the structure itself, but also the surrounding site conditions. Our experienced home inspectors are trained to assess and report on various site conditions as part of our comprehensive inspection process.

• The building perimeter for land grade and water drainage directly adjacent to the foundation: We understand that proper land grading and water drainage are crucial to prevent water intrusion into the foundation, which can lead to costly damage. Our inspectors will carefully assess the grading around the building to ensure that it slopes away from the foundation, and that there are no areas where water can pool or drain towards the foundation.
• Trees and vegetation that adversely affect the residential building: Trees and other vegetation on the property can have a significant impact on the condition of a residential building. Overhanging branches can damage roofs, while tree roots can affect the foundation or plumbing system. Our inspectors will identify any trees or vegetation that could pose potential risks or hazards to the building, and report on their condition accordingly.
• Walkways, steps, driveways, patios, and retaining walls: These areas are important for the safety and functionality of a property. Our inspectors will carefully inspect walkways, steps, driveways, patios, and retaining walls for any visible defects or safety hazards, such as cracks, uneven surfaces, or loose or damaged materials that could pose a risk to residents or visitors.
