Commercial Inspections

What changes when the building is an investment

Inspections on commercial buildings play a pivotal role in identifying potential safety hazards, maintenance issues, and more. They ensure that the property complies with current standards and is safe for occupancy. By uncovering structural or system deficiencies early, inspections help prevent costly repairs and operational disruptions in the future.

What our inspectors cover

Our certified inspectors adhere to the Standards of Practice set by the Commercial Property Inspectors Association (CCPIA). We meticulously evaluate the property, including:

Structural Integrity: Foundations, walls, and roofing systems.

Electrical Systems: Wiring, panels, and compliance with safety standards.

HVAC Systems: Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units.

Plumbing: Pipes, fixtures, and water heaters.

Site Characteristics: Parking lots, landscaping, and accessibility features.

This thorough approach ensures that you have a clear understanding of the property's current condition and any potential issues that may need attention.

Environmental testing

Beyond structural and system assessments, environmental testing is a crucial aspect of a comprehensive commercial property inspection. At Trademark Inspection Services, we offer specialized testing to detect potential environmental hazards that could pose risks to occupants and impact the property's value.

Our environmental testing services include:

Mold Testing – Identifies mold growth and air quality concerns.

Radon Testing – Measures radon levels, a radioactive gas that can pose serious health risks.

By incorporating environmental testing into your commercial property inspection, you gain a deeper understanding of potential risks, ensuring a safe and compliant environment for employees, tenants, and visitors.

Questions we are asked

  • How is a commercial inspection different from a home inspection?

    The standard is different — CCPIA rather than residential — and so is the emphasis. Commercial work weighs the cost and timing of upcoming maintenance alongside condition, because the building is an operating asset.

  • How long does a commercial inspection take?

    It depends on size, age and how many systems the building runs. Reports are delivered in 24 to 72 hours. Call 734-331-3269 with the address and square footage for a realistic answer on your property.

  • Can you inspect a property I am leasing rather than buying?

    Yes. Tenants take on obligations for condition too, and knowing what you are accepting before signing is the same exercise as a purchase inspection.

  • Do you inspect multi-tenant buildings?

    Yes. Scope is agreed in advance, since access to occupied units and the extent of the common systems both affect what can be covered. Call 734-331-3269 to discuss the building.
