For this, you have to have all the details on the areas that will be checked and what will be checked for in each area.

Firstly, understand that each assessment is often categorized into two main categories. For each category, there are problems that the assessor will be on the lookout for. Ensure you always start your assessment from the exteriors, before heading inside.

When starting out, begin by going through the roof, chimney and gutters. The gutters are an important part of any residence. When assessing the gutters, it will be essential to ensure that you run water through them. The water is used to find out whether there are any items that are obstructing the path.

While still on the outer parts of the residence, be sure to also check the condition of the siding. With the siding, it is vital to confirm that it has not started to bulge in any areas. In addition to bulging, it could also start to become discolored and this will be an indication that something is not alright with it.

Foundations are used to support the full weight of a residence. It therefore becomes important to make certain that the foundation does not have any structural problems. A problem within a foundation could be an indication that the house may have more serious problems lying in wait.

Once done with the foundation, you can now head into the house. But first, ensure that you have assessed all the doors. The doors in a residence are very important. You must make certain that the wooden doors are not rotting. In addition to rotting, confirm that the weather has not started to take a toll on their condition.

The doors should then pave the way for you to head insider and perform your assessment. With the interiors, start by first checking the windows. The windows have to be tested as a way of establishing whether they can operate without any pressure being exerted on them.

Move around the house assessing the floor in each and every room. You always have to be careful when it comes to flooring. With the floor, you need to ensure that you pull back the carpet, in all the areas that happen to be carpeted so that you can check below it.

An assessment is not complete, if one has not assessed the ceiling. With the ceiling, you should be careful not to miss any bulging areas. Bulging and staining are indicators often used to show that the roof may not be in proper condition. It will therefore require a more thorough assessment.

The last place to check should always be the cooking area. Witt the kitchen, make certain that you go through the appliances that are available. In addition to the appliances, other areas that requires your attention will be the cabinets, and the kitchen counter tops. They are all important parts of a house.
