Interior Inspection Checklist

​

Our thorough interior inspections ensure your McCall mountain retreat remains secure, functional, and ready for your return, with detailed reports provided after each visit:

• Plumbing Systems: Check for leaks, drips, or signs of water damage in sinks, toilets, showers, and water heaters.

• Heating and Cooling Systems: Verify HVAC systems are operational, thermostats are set to prevent pipe freezing (e.g., 55°F in winter), and air filters are clean to maintain efficiency.

• Electrical Systems: Inspect circuit breakers, outlets, and appliances for signs of malfunction, ensuring no tripped breakers or power surges that could affect security systems.

• Windows and Doors: Confirm all windows and interior doors are closed, locked, and free of drafts, checking for signs of forced entry or weather damage.

• Walls, Ceilings, and Floors: Look for signs of water stains, mold, or pest activity (e.g., rodents, common in McCall’s rural areas), reporting any issues promptly.

• Appliances: Test major appliances (e.g., refrigerator, dishwasher) to ensure functionality and check for unusual noises or leaks.

• Security Systems: Verify alarms, cameras, and smart home devices are functioning, with batteries checked and alerts monitored for uninterrupted protection.

• Lighting: Check interior lights (e.g., timers, smart bulbs) to ensure they’re operational, simulating occupancy to deter break-ins.

• Pest Control: Inspect for signs of insects or rodents, particularly in cabins or lakefront homes prone to pest intrusion during off-seasons.

• Humidity and Air Quality: Monitor for excessive humidity or musty odors, using moisture meters to prevent mold growth in McCall’s variable climate.

Exterior Inspection Checklist

Our exterior inspections safeguard your McCall property from seasonal elements and security risks, ensuring your home remains pristine year-round:

• Roof and Gutters: Check for missing shingles, debris buildup, or snow/ice accumulation that could cause leaks or damage during McCall’s heavy winters.

• Windows and Doors: Confirm all exterior windows and doors are locked, sealed, and free of damage, checking for signs of attempted entry.

• Driveways and Walkways: Verify paths are clear of snow, ice, or debris, ensuring safe access for emergencies or realtor showings in winter.

• Landscaping and Grounds: Check for fallen branches, overgrown vegetation, or wildfire risks (e.g., dry brush in summer), maintaining a tidy and safe property.

• Fencing and Gates: Ensure fences and gates are secure, undamaged, and locked, preventing unauthorized access or wildlife intrusion.

• Decks and Patios: Check for structural damage, loose railings, or snow/ice buildup that could pose safety risks or require repairs.
