Home Mechanical Inspections

A home mechanical inspection should go beyond furnace ages out in five years — ducts, combustion safety, water heaters, shutoffs, and moisture tell the real Kitsap story.

Buyer-critical checks

Heat and cool operation, filter access, condensate paths, water heater age/strap/pan, supply pressure, shutoff locations, and crawl moisture near mechanicals.

Why general home inspections miss depth

Time limits and non-specialist scopes miss static pressure, gas sizing, and IAQ pathways. A dual-licensed second look fills gaps.

Using findings for negotiation

Written Eagle Pipe assessments help separate urgent safety from optional upgrades.

What goes wrong when homeowners wait

Skipping crawl inspection because it is wet today leaves expensive surprises. Trusting a clean listing photo of a mechanical room is not due diligence.
