The Inspection Process
Confirm your appointment, sign the inspection agreement. Ensure the utilities will be on during the inspection, access to all areas including attic, crawlspace, and electrical panels.
The inspector completes a thorough, non-invasive evaluation of all accessible systems and components of the home. The infrared scan and foundation survey are performed during the same visit.
During the final 30 minutes, the inspector reviews the most important findings with you, points out significant concerns, and answers your questions. This gives you a clear understanding of the home’s condition before the written report is delivered.
A detailed, photo-rich report organized by building system is delivered the same day. Findings are described clearly, no jargon, no unnecessary alarm language.
By the Numbers
Typical inspection window for a single-family home in Utah County, including infrared scan and foundation survey all in one appointment.
Checkpoint serves every city in Utah County. One certified inspector, one consistent standard, across the entire county.
Report delivered the same day as your inspection. Time matters during your contingency period you get everything you need immediately.
InterNACHI® Standards of Practice define 8 major systems evaluated in every home inspection, from structure and roofing to electrical, HVAC, and interior.
Thorough Inspection vs. Minimum-Standards Inspection
A minimum-standards inspection checks the required boxes and produces a report. A thorough inspection includes every tool available to find problems that a visual check alone will miss. Infrared imaging reveals hidden moisture, insulation gaps, and electrical hot spots. A foundation level survey catches differential settlement before it becomes a negotiation or a lawsuit.
Checkpoint's standard is the thorough inspection because a home purchase is likely the largest financial decision you'll make.
Common Questions
Most single-family homes take 2.5 - 4 hours. Larger homes or homes with complex systems may take longer. The infrared scan and foundation survey are included within the same time window.
Attending the inspection is not required, however the inspector recommends you show up at the end of the inspection to review the discoveries.
The report documents observed conditions. What you do with that information negotiate, request repairs, walk away, or proceed, is your decision. The inspector's role is to give you accurate information, not to advise on the transaction.
