Commercial Building Inspection
Services in Seattle
With
commercial property in Seattle, it is essential to learn about the
condition of the building, including its roof, siding,
copings, penetrations, and overall structure before
beginning any commercial real estate transaction.
Many
buildings have flat roofs, often
with HVAC systems mounted on them. These types of roofs have
a shorter life cycle than sloped roofs and are prone to roof
leaks.
Seattle Home Inspections recommends that a mechanical, electrical, and
plumbing contractor inspect HVAC systems, electrical
systems, and sewer systems respectfully.
•
Typically, HVAC systems are roof mounted, leading to
frequent leaks at their attachment points.
• A video
analysis of a sewer system can detect damaged pipes and
save thousands of dollars (even up to $100,000) in the
repairs of a commercial drain line caused by
unsuspecting but very corrosive drain cleaners.
The proper knowledge of the building you are
purchasing could save you hundreds of thousands of dollars
in repairs.
