Why You Need a Home Inspection in Elkhorn, NE

The 2 main reasons our clients get a home inspection in Elkhorn, NE is to protect their investment and for the safety of their family. For anyone Selling their home, getting ahead of any issues before you put your home on the market takes away any surprises so you can either have repairs made without the pressure from a Buyer or adjust your listing price to figure in those issues. For the Home Buyer, the inspection makes you aware of the condition of the home before you go through with the purchase. If any serious issues arise, the inspection can be your safety net to back out of the deal or attempt to negotiate those items. After you move in, the inspection report serves as a To-Do List for years to come and helps you prioritize what projects to tackle first. Spending money to fix minor issues now can save you thousands in major problems that could develop later.

What Are Some Real Issues Surfaced During Your Home Inspection?

There are a lot of higher-end homes in Elkhorn, NE so we’ll use one as an example here. Our Client, Chad B., was attempting to purchase a gorgeous newer 5,000+ s.f. ranch house in Elkhorn and the Home Inspection surfaced some issues to make him pause. We found structural movement from Street Creep where the street had pushed the driveway into the garage floor and out the back foundation wall. It wasn’t severe, but enough where the ½” wide crack in the foundation needed repair along with a proper expansion joint installed in the driveway to absorb any future movement. Because Greg Wayman has the professional training from Heat Exchanger Experts, he was able to find 4 cracks in the furnace’s heat exchanger. This, of course, was a carbon monoxide threat that nobody was aware of. We also found over fusing in the newer main panel which was a fire hazard. Finding these issues protected our client & his family allowing him to go forward with the purchase.

Satisfied Client Reviews

“Greg was great to work with and helped us determine if the home we wanted to buy was the right call. My wife and I hired Greg twice. The first home he inspected he found several serious issues we had not seen and wouldn’t have found out until costly repairs became necessary. Amongst many more issues the roof was decked with less than code thick plywood causing it to bow when walked on, and the main gas line meter was left in front of the garage after an addition leaving it in line to be knocked by a vehicle. We backed out of the first home and recovered our deposit because of the issues Greg had found. The amount of repairs urgently necessary could have easily reached $50k in a short period and would have been economically crippling to first time home owners. We purchased another home after an inspection from Greg found it to be in far better condition and we couldn’t be happier. Thanks again Greg.”

“I am a first-time home buyer with no clue what I am getting into it, I had Greg to inspect a home against my agent’s recommendations prior to buying the home even though I was given the home inspection reports by the re-location company that is selling the house. In the re-location company’s inspection everything looked fantastic. But Greg did an amazing job with his professional inspection and educating throughout the inspection and he found numerous issues that might affect the structure of the house in the long run if proper measures are not taken. None of the issues mentioned in the reports provided by the seller side inspection report. Greg’s professional work and ethics provided me the choice to negotiate on fixing those issues or walk away. His advice – ‘do not make emotional decision on home purchase stuck with me’. Thank you Greg.”

“Greg came out to inspect our first home. He gave a very thorough inspection and provided a very detailed report. I truly appreciated his passionate approach to his work, and willingness to go to bat for me when he didn’t have to get involved at all. He was absolutely right about the furnace and the AC unit. After making a phone call to the sellers realtor, they had an HVAC guy come out immediately for a second opinion. Guess what? They’re both shot. The HVAC professional told the seller neither are repairable and needed replaced. He saved me $6k, and both will be replaced prior to closing. Thank you so much for everything, Greg.

For those of you scolding the man for nitpicking during his inspections… You’re fools. His job is to do just that, so you don’t make the mistake of buying a home that will financially crush you. Thanks again, Greg. You’ve got a lifetime customer.”
