What a Keller home inspection covers

A standard inspection is a thorough visual evaluation of the home\'s major systems and components, typically including:

• Foundation, structure, and grading
• Roof, attic, ventilation, and insulation
• HVAC, heating, and cooling
• Electrical systems and panels
• Plumbing, water heater, and fixtures
• Exterior, doors, windows, and drainage
• Built-in appliances

The inspector documents findings in a written report with photos, so you can prioritize repairs and negotiate during your Texas option period. For a full walkthrough, see what a home inspection covers in DFW.

North Texas issues that matter in Keller

Local conditions shape what an inspector pays closest attention to here:

• Foundation movement. Expansive clay soil swells and shrinks with moisture, a leading cause of slab movement across the metroplex. See our guide to foundation movement in North Texas.
• Roof wear. Spring hail and long, hot summers age North Texas roofs faster than milder climates.
• HVAC strain. Triple-digit summers put heavy demand on cooling systems.
• Drainage and grading. Good water management protects the foundation over time.
