How HomeTeam Can Help Ann Arbor Homes

Ice Dam and Roof Damage

Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles can force ice dams at the roofline; inspectors check attic insulation, ventilation, and roof coverings for related damage.

Foundation and Basement Moisture

Heavy clay soil and frost heave common in southeast Michigan can crack foundations and drive basement water intrusion, which inspectors check for during the structural walk-through.

Aging Plumbing in Older Homes

Homes near downtown Ann Arbor built in the early-to-mid 1900s may still have galvanized or outdated supply lines, which inspectors trace and evaluate for corrosion and capacity.

Elevated Radon Levels

Michigan basements sit in a higher radon-risk zone, so inspectors recommend radon testing to check for elevated gas levels that aren't visible during a standard walk-through.

Outdated Electrical Panels and Wiring

Century homes near the University of Michigan area may still carry knob-and-tube wiring or undersized panels; inspectors flag capacity and safety concerns for these systems.

HVAC Strain from Seasonal Swings

Wide temperature swings between humid Michigan summers and freezing winters put extra wear on furnaces and AC systems, which inspectors test for age, function, and remaining service life.

From century-old homes near downtown Ann Arbor to postwar ranches in Livonia, southeast Michigan’s freeze-thaw winters and humid summers put real stress on a home’s systems. Our team-based inspections are built to catch the issues that matter most in this climate and housing mix.

Everything home buyers, sellers, and real estate agents need to know about home inspections in Ann Arbor.

HomeTeam of Ann Arbor Livonia offers three inspection packages starting at an average of $300 for an Essential inspection, up to $650 for the Ultimate package with sewer scope and thermal imaging included. Final pricing depends on the home’s size, age, and condition, so contact us directly for an accurate quote.

Most inspections take between 1 and 3 hours, depending on the size and condition of the property. Because HomeTeam sends a full team of specialists rather than one inspector, we’re able to cover every major system thoroughly without extending the timeline.

You’ll receive a detailed, photo-rich digital report the same day as your inspection. It covers every system we evaluated, from roof to foundation, with plain-language explanations and repair recommendations you can use to negotiate or plan next steps.

Yes. Many homes near downtown Ann Arbor date to the early 1900s and can still have knob-and-tube wiring, aging plumbing, or outdated panels. Our inspectors pay close attention to these systems in older properties to flag safety and capacity concerns before you close.

Radon testing is strongly recommended in this area, since Michigan basements sit in a higher radon-risk zone and elevated levels aren’t detectable without testing equipment. We offer radon testing alongside our standard home inspection so you have a complete picture of indoor air quality.

Absolutely. We encourage buyers and sellers to walk through with our team when possible, so you can ask questions in real time and get a firsthand look at anything our inspectors flag.

A standard home inspection is typically ordered by a buyer after an offer is accepted, while a pre-listing inspection is ordered by the seller before the home goes on the market. Pre-listing inspections help sellers catch and address issues early, which can smooth negotiations and reduce surprises later in the process.
