Annual Maintenance Inspections

One of the most important responsibilities of a home owner is to ensure certain items throughout the home receive periodic attention.  By reviewing and servicing major systems in your home, you can avoid costly repairs and also extend the useful life of expensive items like your roof, heating/cooling system, septic system, private well equipment, etc.  Kross Inspectors can help relieve the burden of this very time consuming task by performing our Annual Maintenance Inspection service.

After each of our purchase Home Inspections, our Inspectors provide a thorough walk through pointing out areas of the home requiring annual maintenance and review.  Our Annual Maintenance Inspection helps new and existing home owners keep up to date on these important tasks.  We will send you automatic reminders to schedule maintenance and cleaning for major systems, then we will schedule our Inspection to verify that these items were properly taken care of. (Protecting the consumer from being taken advantage of!)  The list below may seem overwhelming, but our streamlined process can take care of the legwork for you.  We will recommend competent and reputable companies for items requiring servicing, then we will perform the inspection of the remaining elements. We can even schedule your service appointments for your convenience!
