Scottsdale Home Inspection FAQs

Are inspections really needed in Scottsdale’s dry climate?
Yes. Extreme sun, soil movement, and heat can cause issues even without rain — especially to roofing, stucco, HVAC, and foundations.
What problems do you find most in Scottsdale?
We commonly identify sun-damaged roofs, old HVAC systems, stucco cracks, irrigation leaks, and improperly sealed attics or garages.
Is radon testing important in Arizona?
In some zip codes, yes. Homes with basements or sealed interiors may be at higher risk for indoor gas buildup. Radon testing is available.
Can you inspect smart homes or luxury properties?
Absolutely. We inspect automation systems, custom HVAC zoning, moisture intrusion points, and smart safety integrations.
How quickly do I get the report?
Same day. You’ll receive a clean, annotated digital report with all photos, comments, and action recommendations.
