West Jordan Home Inspector

West Jordan had only about 2,000 residents when it incorporated in 1941. It’s grown into a much larger city since then, with homes built across several generations. Some have been remodeled or added onto over the years, and those changes aren’t always obvious when you’re walking through the house. A finished basement is a good example.

When inspecting a West Jordan home, we check the safety features we can see, including bedroom escape windows and smoke alarms. We also look for moisture problems along any exposed foundation walls. The tricky part with a finished basement is that drywall and ceilings can hide much of the original construction. Finished basements are just as common in Herriman, just south of West Jordan, where A1 inspector Brock Knackstedt lives. We can inspect what’s accessible, but we can’t see through walls. That’s why it’s worth checking with the city for any available building permits, especially if the basement was finished or remodeled after the home was built. Those records can help answer questions that a visual home inspection simply can’t.
