Before You Hire

Bring any earlier repair paperwork, ask for readings and a written plan, and confirm permit needs with the City of Universal City.

If You Are Moving Soon

For a sale on a short timeline, ask for the inspection report in writing quickly, and ask whether the repair can be finished, documented and covered by a transferable warranty before closing. Keep the readings, pier drawing and any permit record together for the buyer. Ask about transfer terms too.

Common questions

I have orders and need to sell. Can an inspection happen quickly?

Say so in your request. The company can tell you how soon they can inspect.

Should I test plumbing in an older house?

A leaking drain under the slab can soften the soil, which is why many companies test before lifting.
