Inspection FAQ
Straight answers to the questions clients ask most
Can I attend the inspection?
Yes, when possible. Attending gives you a chance to understand the home, ask questions, and review key findings with the inspector. Scheduling or access conditions may affect when the most useful walkthrough can happen.
When will I receive the report?
Residential inspection reports are delivered within 24 hours and often the same day. Commercial report timing is confirmed in writing with the quote because the scope and property can vary significantly.
Does a house pass or fail an inspection?
No. An inspection documents visible and accessible conditions so you can understand the property and decide what questions, evaluations, or repairs deserve attention before your next deadline.
What happens if the inspector finds a major concern?
The report documents the observed condition with photos and plain-language context. The inspector can explain why it matters and when evaluation by an appropriate qualified professional may be the next step.
Does Upspect perform repairs?
Inspection and testing services are information-gathering services. Repair, remediation, and engineering work are separate unless a service page specifically identifies an engineering partner and deliverable.
Is thermal imaging included?
Yes, with qualifying services. Home Inspections include thermal imaging of the kitchen, laundry room, and bathrooms. New Construction Pre-Closing and 1-Year Warranty Inspections include a full-interior thermal imaging scan.
How much does a home inspection cost?
Home Inspections start at $425. The final total depends on square footage, property age, selected specialty services, and the exact service requested. The current published price ladder is available on the Pricing page.
Can I add pool, sewer, termite, or irrigation services?
Yes, when the service is available for the property and appointment. Pool & Spa, Termite, and Sprinkler / Irrigation Inspections are add-on only. Sewer Scope can be added or scheduled as a standalone visit.
Should I choose Air Quality Testing or Mold Sampling?
Air Quality Testing compares indoor air samples with an exterior control. Mold Sampling targets a specific visible or suspect surface. Contact Upspect if you are unsure which approach fits the concern.
Where does Upspect inspect?
Upspect serves Greater Phoenix, the Tucson metro, and established Arizona travel corridors to Wickenburg, Prescott, Payson, Globe, and communities between them. Statewide service may also be available with a custom trip fee.
Can a real estate agent schedule for a client?
An agent can help coordinate the appointment and direct the client to the appropriate inspection and add-ons. Call or text Upspect when the property or requested scope needs help before booking.
