FSG Inspections

Yes. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.

We prefer to provide our Inspection reports electronically via email. That way we conduct our business as ecologically friendly as possible. You can also easily forward the report to the parties you wish, such as your realtor, the seller, or the bank. If you do not have an email address or access to a computer we also may provide the report in paper format or via fax.

We prefer to be as Ecologically Friendly or "Green" as possible. If we can avoid using paper, it is the best choice for our world. We can provide the report as a digital PDF document. The report in PDF can be emailed to you or your agent. If you prefer, we can also fax the report.

Yes, but even the most experienced homeowner or business owner can lack the knowledge, expertise, and tools of a professional inspector. An inspector is more familiar with the critical elements of construction and with their proper installation, maintenance along with the inter-relationships of these elements/systems. In addition, many buyers find it difficult to remain completely objective and unemotional about the property they are considering purchasing which may lead to a poor assessment. An inspection by a qualified inspector provides the buyer a comprehensive, non-biased, third-party review of the residential or commercial property.

No. Sellers are not obligated to fix deficient items found in an inspection report, unless the repair of those items are required by law, or there is wording in the contract outlining the obligation of repairs on the seller. Deficient items may be items of negotiation. You should keep in mind that no building is going to be perfect. It is up to you to decide if you would like to proceed with the purchase of the residential or commercial property.

Inspection times vary from inspection to inspection and are dictated by site specific conditions. A standard Mold Assessment on an average size home is performed in approximately an hour to an hour and a half. Insurance inspections such as 4-Points and Wind Mitigation Inspections last on average 20-30 minutes each. A standard leak detection appointment includes up to 2 hours of time. Thermal imaging is in increments of 1 hour. Most regular sized homes and small business can be reviewed in 1 hour or less.

Molds are types of fungi. Mold requires moisture and a food source to grow. There are certain types of mold that can damage wood. There are molds that may cause harm to people with the toxins they produce. Determining the type of mold present in a home, if any, would require inspection and testing. If mold is present in abnormal quantities remediation is the recommended course of action.

Unfortunately we cannot act as an insurance company, nor offer to cover damages that may occur over time on your home. What you are buying from us is our professional opinion about the residential or commercial building. This opinion is based on a time specific and limited inspection. What is hidden, non-accessible, or apt to happen over time is not within the scope of the inspection. We do give you our word that we will try to perform the best inspection available in the market and that we will not cut corners or rush through your inspection.

Yes! We recommend that you attend the inspection. If you cannot stay for the entire inspection, we at least recommend that you be there the last half hour so we can go over findings and we can answer any questions you may have about the residential or commercial property.
