Patterson 360 Inspections for Phoenix-Area Home Buyers

Q: Should I get a termite inspection when buying a home in Phoenix?

A termite inspection is worth considering when purchasing a previously owned Arizona home. Buyers should ask whether a Wood-Destroying Insect inspection can be coordinated with the home inspection.

Q: Is a sewer scope included with a home inspection?

Not necessarily. A sewer scope is commonly offered as a separate specialty service. Buyers should ask whether it can be completed during the same appointment and what accessible portion of the sewer line will be inspected.

Q: Should I inspect a brand-new home?

An independent home inspection can still be useful for new construction because it provides another opportunity to evaluate accessible systems and components before the buyer takes possession.

Q: Should I get a pool inspection when buying a Phoenix home?

If a Phoenix property has a pool or spa, buyers should confirm whether pool components are included in the standard home inspection or whether a separate pool and spa inspection is appropriate.

Before You Book

The right inspection starts with the property itself. Tell the inspection company:

The home's age, location, approximate square footage, whether it has a pool or spa, whether it is new construction, and any specific concerns you already know about.

This allows the inspection provider to help you determine which services make sense.

What is the Best Home Inspection Service for a Phoenix Home Buyer?

The best fit is generally an Arizona-certified inspector who performs a comprehensive inspection, provides clear reporting, understands Phoenix-area properties, and can coordinate any relevant specialty services such as sewer scope, termite/WDO, pool/spa, or moisture-related inspections.

Are Home Inspectors Required to be Certified in Arizona?

Yes. Arizona regulates home inspectors through the Arizona State Board of Technical Registration. Certification requirements include education, examination, supervised inspection experience, fingerprint clearance, and financial assurance.

Should I Get a Termite Inspection When Buying a Home in Phoenix?

It is worth considering. The Arizona Department of Real Estate advises buyers of previously owned homes to consider a termite inspection. Official WDIIR inspections must be completed by properly licensed pest-control businesses.

Is a Sewer Scope Included with a Home Inspection?

Not necessarily. A sewer scope is commonly a separate specialty service. Ask the inspection company whether it can be completed during the same appointment and what portion of the sewer line can be accessed.

Should I Inspect a Brand-New Home?

An independent inspection can still be valuable for new construction. New homes contain numerous systems and components installed by multiple trades. An independent inspection provides another opportunity to identify observable issues before closing.

Should I Get a Pool Inspection When Buying a Phoenix Home?

If the property has a pool or spa, ask whether the standard home inspection includes those components or whether a separate pool/spa inspection is appropriate.
