Genesee County inspection file
Need a home inspector in Burton? Fisher Home Inspections is based just up the road in Flint, and we have been inspecting Genesee County houses since 1997. You work with Chad Fisher or his one other inspector from the first call to the final report. Every home inspection includes a thermal scan.
Burton is about as close to home as our work gets. If you searched home inspector near me from a ranch off Center Road, we are probably ten minutes away.
Big inspection outfits book you with whoever is free that day. We don't work that way. Fisher Home Inspections is Chad and one other inspector, and most of the time you will deal with Chad himself.
That matters when you call back two days later with a question about the furnace. The home inspector in Burton who answers already stood in your basement.
Burton grew fast when the auto plants were hiring, and a lot of its houses date from the 1940s through the 1960s. Solid little homes, mostly. They also tend to show their age in the same places:
We check every one of those and tell you which ones need money now.
Plenty of companies sell infrared as an upgrade. Ours is part of every job. The thermal camera picks up insulation gaps in old walls, moisture in a ceiling below a bathroom, and breakers running hot in a panel that has been added onto for 60 years.
Block basements in this part of the county take on water. Clay soil, old drain tile, gutters that empty right next to the foundation. We look at wall movement, staining, sump pits and grading, and if something smells or looks wrong we can add mold testing while we are there.
Radon comes up through the soil and collects in lower levels, and the only way to know the number in a given house is to test it. We run radon gas testing ourselves, so it gets scheduled with your home inspection instead of on someone else's calendar.
Seventy-year-old neighborhoods have seventy-year-old trees, and roots go looking for sewer joints. A sewer camera inspection shows the lateral from the house to the street, so a root ball or a collapsed section shows up before you own it.
Burton is where a lot of Genesee County buyers start, and it is also where flippers buy. A quick cosmetic rehab can hide old wiring and patched plumbing behind fresh paint. We look past the new flooring to the systems underneath. For first-time buyers, Chad will walk you through what each finding means and what can wait.
We also do FHA and VA inspections, which come up a lot on starter homes here.
Selling? A pre-listing inspection lets you find the problems before a buyer's inspector does, while you still have time to fix them or price them in. Fewer surprises means fewer renegotiations at the last minute.
The report should not go in a drawer. We point out the items worth watching, and our homeowner maintenance guidance and preventive maintenance tips help you plan the next few years of upkeep. Hiring a home inspector in Burton who is ten minutes away also means we are easy to reach later.
Chad was very professional and punctual. Got the job done in a very reasonable amount of time took the time to explain things very well.
He went through every step of the way, and had top of the line equipment to analyze even the smallest of potential issues.
Burton sits right between Flint and the southern and eastern suburbs, so we cover the whole stretch, including home inspections in Grand Blanc to the south and Davison inspections to the east.
