Southern Saginaw County inspection file
A home inspector in Chesaning has to look at more than the house. Most properties around the village rely on their own well and septic. Fisher Home Inspections has been inspecting since 1997, and we check the house itself, the well water and the septic system, with a full thermal scan in every report.
Chesaning is a straight run out M-57 from Flint. If you searched home inspector near me from a farm in southern Saginaw County, you are in our regular territory.
Chesaning grew up along the Shiawassee River, and the older homes in the village show it: big porches, older foundations, basements that have dealt with high water. Every summer the Showboat brings crowds to the riverfront. The rest of the year, these houses quietly age. We check foundations, sump systems and grading closely on lower lots near the river.
Outside the village, homes rely on private wells. We collect samples and send them to a state-certified lab for well water testing, including the testing FHA, VA and RD loans require. We also look over the visible well equipment: cap, casing, pressure tank and wiring.
A failing drain field can cost as much as a new roof. Our septic inspection checks the tank, the baffles and how the field is performing, so you know what you are buying before you close.
Every report includes a thermal scan at no added cost. It shows missing insulation in old walls, moisture hiding behind drywall and electrical connections running hotter than they should. On a farmhouse that has been added onto three times, it often tells the clearest story in the report.
Farm country surrounds Chesaning on every side. Rural properties come with older farmhouses, additions, barns and pole buildings. We inspect the outbuildings and their electrical along with the house, and we take a careful look wherever an old structure meets a newer addition.
Much of the area qualifies for USDA Rural Development financing. RD, FHA and VA loans usually require a water test for homes on private wells. As a home inspector in Chesaning who handles the inspection and arranges the loan-required water test in one trip, we keep that requirement from slowing down your closing.
Rural Michigan basements, especially fieldstone and older block, can let radon in. We set up radon testing during the inspection and report the results ourselves.
Damp basements are common close to the river and on older farm properties. If we see staining or the thermal camera picks up hidden moisture, mold testing can be added to the same visit.
