Engineering℠ is happy to help you. 
You depend on the pre-purchase inspection to provide you with important information to help you decide on purchasing real estate. You typically have 5 to 10 business days to have a pre-purchase inspection performed. Once the inspector arrives on the site, you have to decide if he or she is capable of performing the inspection.
There are no do-overs if the inspector who performs the inspection does not perform the inspection to your satisfaction. It is important to chose the Inspector wisely. You need to know not only what the inspection costs, but what is included and what limitations exist.
Choosing the wrong inspector may save money now, but the real expense is in the future. The wrong inspector could allow you to buy the proverbial money pit.
We strive to achieve the highest ethical standards. As Licensed Engineers, every effort is made to provide information that allows you to be an informed consumer.
Some inspection firms do not tell you the inspection limitations until the inspector arrives at the site. Heimer Engineering does not deceive clients to get them to make appointments. - All pre-purchase inspections have the same limitations, yet some inspection firms hide these limitations. Heimer Engineering discloses the limitations on our website and in the report, including placing the pre-inspection agreement on our website so you can understand the limitations of any pre-purchase inspection. Limitations are inherent in any pre-purchase inspection.
Pre-Inspection Agreement 
Some inspection firms imply that they include an environmental inspection, when all they offer is the same visual inspection Heimer Engineering provides. Heimer Engineering discloses in advance that a pre-purchase inspection is not an environmental inspection.Environmental Inspections- Some inspectors exaggerate the seriousness of a problem so that you are in a better position to negotiate with the seller. Heimer Engineering does not misrepresent the seriousness of a defect.
Some inspectors claim that they can find hidden defects using thermal imaging. Heimer Engineering does not tell you that thermal imaging will find defects behind walls.Thermal Imaging- Some inspectors tack on extra charges at the time of the inspection. Heimer Engineering does not raise prices at the inspection site.
- Some inspectors imply that their insurance covers you. Insurance covers the policy holder against claims made against the policy holder. A client has to make a claim (which often involves hiring an Attorney to file a law suit) before the insurance is brought in. Heimer Engineering does not tell you the inspection insurance covers you.
Our Licensed Engineers follow the National Society of Professional Engineer's Code of Ethics and are subject to the laws governing Professional Engineers in The State of New York. These guidelines and laws cover topics such as conflicts of interest, general ethical behavior, working on behalf of our client's interests, etc. You can be sure of the highest ethical standards when using Heimer Engineering's Professional Engineers.
