BEFORE · DURING · AFTER

A straightforward inspection process.

You should know what will happen, what you need to prepare, and when you will receive answers. Port City keeps the process clear from the first call through the final report.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Clear steps. Personal guidence.

1 Talk with us.

Call or text with the address, property type, timeline, and known concerns. Casey will help define a useful scope and confirm pricing.

2 Prepare the property.

Confirm access, utilities, occupied-area expectations, and any documents or concerns you want reviewed. Sellers and occupants should clear access to key systems.

Walk through the inspection.

Casey carefully evaluates readily accessible systems and components. You are welcome to attend and ask questions at an appropriate point in the inspection.

3

4 Review the report.

Receive a clear digital report with photos, explanations, and practical recommendations. Call afterward if anything needs clarification.

BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT

A little preparation goes a long way.

Confirm utilities are on when the scope requires functional testing.

Clear access to electrical panels, attic entries, furnaces, water heaters, crawlspaces, and shut-offs.

Secure pets and share occupancy or access instructions.

Send known concerns, prior reports, disclosures, or repair documentation when relevant.

DURING & AFTER

Ask questions. Understand your home.

Wear appropriate shoes if you plan to attend.

Save detailed questions for a safe, natural pause in the inspection.

Read the complete report—not only the summary.

Every property is different.

Inspection time depends on the property’s size, age, condition, occupancy, systems, and selected services. Call with the details for the most useful expectation.
