Interior Inspection
Interior inspection covers what you can see — walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, stairs — looking for defects that indicate larger underlying problems.

- Missing or non-code stair handrails
- Missing CO detectors in required locations
- Mouse / pest evidence in basements and attics
Southern Minnesota considerations
Older southern-MN homes commonly show the cumulative effect of decades of clay-soil movement: drywall cracks at door corners, floor sloping toward center beams, and door rubbing against jambs.
Common questions
Do you check inside cabinets?
Yes. We check inside cabinets — particularly under sinks for plumbing leaks and pest evidence — as well as visible attic and basement spaces.
Will you find pest infestations?
We document visible pest evidence (mouse droppings, ant trails, wasp nests). We do not perform termite or wood-destroying-organism specialty inspections — those are available as a premium add-on.
