FAQs.  What to expect BEFORE you receive your reports!
With over 50,000 Inspections performed since being founded in 2007, Kross Inspectors has developed Inspection processes and packages to fit anyone's needs when purchasing a home.   
 
In order to help Consumers and Real Estate Professional choose the right Inspection Firm for their needs, we have compiled the following list of Frequently Asked Questions.  Please keep in mind that not all Inspection Companies are the same.  The answers to these questions apply ONLY to services offered by Kross Inspectors.  
 
Frequently Asked Questions:
 
Q: What is included in your typical home inspection?
A: Our Basic Home Inspection for purchases include the following elements: Foundation, Structural, Exterior Grading, Swimming Pool & Equipment, Water Equipment, Exterior Roof, Roof Structure, Heating & Cooling, Attic, Insulation & Ventilation, Electrical, Plumbing, and Interior (Including installed appliances & searches for evidence of surface mold). A free Chinese Drywall Inspection will be included on homes built from 2001 through 2010. To review a complete list of items included as well as limitations and exclusions on our Standards of Practice page, CLICK HERE
 
Q: Aren't FEES the only difference between Inspection Companies?
A: NO. Although State Licensing does mandate some minimum guidelines for Inspectors, these minimum guidelines do not always arm consumers with enough information to make decisions. Kross Inspectors offers many additional services within our basic pricing which other Inspectors do not or are not properly qualified to offer. We are so confident that you will receive more services for your money that we offer a PRICE MATCH GUARANTEE. We will meet or beat any other Inspector's fee for comparable services. 
 
Q: Do you inspect for mold?
A: We do include a search for visual evidence of surface mold within our Basic Services. However, this visual Inspection cannot tell if there is a hidden "airborne" problem.  In order to determine if an indoor air quality problem caused by mold exists, air samples must be taken for laboratory analysis.  We offer this type of testing within our Environmental Home Purchase Package. This package includes both Mold and Radon testing at an affordable fee due to significant discounts offered when all services are performed at the same time!. CLICK HERE for more information!  
 
Q: Do you inspect for Chinese Drywall?
A: We include an inspection for Chinese Drywall with home inspections on homes built between from 2001 through 2010 with no additional fee. We also provide stand alone Chinese Drywall Inspections. To find out more about our Chinese Drywall Inspections, click HERE. 
 
Q: Should I have a Radon Test?
A: Radon is present everywhere. Due to the simple fact that Radon levels differ from one property to another, the only way to know is to test!. We have Florida Licensed Radon Measurement Technicians on staff to perform Radon Testing. Knowing the levels of Radon within your home is very important to protecting your family's health. We offer significant discounts on Radon testing when performed within our Environmental Home Purchase Package. CLICK HERE or call us for more information!
 
Q: How long does a typical home inspection take?
A: The typical home inspection takes an average of 3 -4 hours on site for homes up to 2,000 square feet living area, depending on the condition. Larger and older homes may take more time. Our Licensed Inspectors DO NOT take shortcuts. This ensures we are providing you with an accurate assessment in order to make an informed decision.  Keep in mind that Kross Inspectors does deliver Inspection Reports ON SITE.  Your comprehensive report, including photos is emailed direct from the property being Inspected....NO WAITING!  
 
Q: How far in advance do I need to request an appointment?
A: With our full staff of Inspectors, we can book your appointment with only 24 hours notice.

Safety During The Inspection
We understand how curiosity gets the best of us, but we encourage Clients and Realtors to follow these basic rules while attending an Inspection:
 
1. If the power and water are OFF when you arrive, DO NOT TURN ON! Your Inspector is specifically trained in assessing possible hazards prior to engaging water and power services. Turning on these services without making the proper assessment not only poses a risk of damage to the property, but can create serious safety hazards to those attending the Inspection!
 
2.  DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCES! Again, the Inspector is trained to identify and assess any potential hazards or situations that may cause damage to the appliance or property prior to engaging the device!
 
 
 
 
 3.  LOOK BEFORE YOU TOUCH!  Before you reach inside cabinets, turn on light switches, or open doors/windows, look for potential hazards such as broken glass, exposed wiring, or even pests that bite!
 
 
 
Kross Inspectors takes pride in providing a safe environment for our Clients and Realtor Referral Partners during our Inspections.  Please follow your Inspector's Instructions.  Your Inspector will help you in preventing accidental injury or causing damage to the property.  Most important, if you have any doubts, ASK THE INSPECTOR!
