Home Inspection in Fernley, NV: What Local Buyers and Homeowners Should Check

Fernley sits in a unique spot: fast-growing new construction, older homes on rural lots, wells and septic systems in parts of Lyon County, and dust, wind and temperature swings that are hard on a house. Here's what Fernley buyers and homeowners should have checked.

What We Look at in Fernley Homes

• Roofs and exterior stucco worn by sun, wind and freeze-thaw cycles

• Grading and drainage, especially on flat lots

• Evaporative coolers, furnaces and A/C systems

• Electrical panels and wiring in older homes

• Slab and foundation cracks

New Construction Isn't Perfect

Brand-new homes can have missed flashing, grading problems and HVAC defects. A pre-closing inspection, and a one-year warranty inspection before your builder's coverage ends, can catch things while the builder still has to fix them.

Wells, Septic and Sewer

Many homes around Fernley and Lyon County use private wells or septic. Read our guide to well water testing in Northern Nevada, and ask about a sewer scope for homes on city sewer.
