Home inspection in Jerusalem

If you are looking for a reliable, professional home inspection (bedek bayit) in Jerusalem, you have come to the right place. With more than 15,000 homes inspected, we can give you the best service at fair, affordable prices.

Jerusalem is a city with a strong building boom, and more construction automatically means more construction defects. Our company provides home inspection services for apartments and for buildings.

How we inspect: a professional eye first, then instruments

16,000 families are not wrong, and for good reason. We employ expert home inspection engineers who give you a precise answer about the defects in your apartment, and the documentation you need to submit to the contractor so that he takes you seriously and comes to fix them.

Our team is made up of field people who come to the home, inspect it thoroughly and uncover every defect and flaw. Our inspection is first of all a human inspection by a professional, the kind that only a trained eye can do. After that we also use technological instruments to find defects that the naked eye cannot: defects buried inside the wall, dampness or a leak hiding there, and the like.

With these instruments it is now possible to test without any demolition and to see inside the walls and the pipes (an "ultrasound" for walls). We carry out home inspections in Jerusalem and the surrounding area, and in fact all over the country.

Our name travels by word of mouth, from clients who recommend us. For us that is the best feedback there is on a high level of professionalism and service, because beyond professionalism we insist on service that is friendly and leaves the client satisfied.

We know that what our clients want after an exhausting move is, above all, peace of mind: to be sure they did not buy blind.

A Jerusalem home inspection company for every type of building

Our home inspection engineer services include an inspection for construction defects after you buy a home from a contractor, and a home inspection of a resale apartment. We also locate leaks and dampness before a purchase, before you move in, or whenever a dampness problem refuses to be solved.

You are welcome to contact us here on the site for a price quote and join tens of thousands of satisfied clients. We insist on a very thorough inspection that exposes all the defects. There is only one professional, reliable home inspection company in Jerusalem!

If a more superficial inspection is enough for you, go to other companies... Every type of building has already been through our professional inspection: private apartments, residential buildings, industrial buildings, commercial real estate and institutional buildings.

As a Jerusalem home inspection company that has made professionalism its banner, here is part of what we check. Exterior: non-standard exterior cladding (a first-degree safety hazard), waterproofing of the exterior walls of the whole building and of the safe room (mamad) walls, cracks in the balcony, the laundry enclosures and more.

Plumbing and dampness: tracing the pipe routes with non-destructive instruments, dampness caused by waterproofing that was done incorrectly, capillary dampness above the baseboards, dampness from a construction defect at the upstairs neighbor's, water pressure and flow.

Gypsum board work: compliance with the standard for gypsum board ceilings, the spacing between the profiles, the soundness of the screws and more. And that, as we said, is only part of it.

Does an investment property in Jerusalem need a home inspection engineer?

Arad Bedek Bayit, managed by Jerusalem home inspection engineer Ron Arad, inspects every type of building with a team of experts. We will be glad to serve you, for your benefit and to your full satisfaction, working in full cooperation with you from the moment you order the service until the report is in your hands. You also get support and advice on dealing with a contractor who refuses to cooperate.

Either way, whether you are buying a home to live in or an apartment as an investment, the soundness of the home has to be your first concern. Even if you rent the apartment out, you do not want the tenant calling every other day to report defects.

That cuts deeply into the return on the property, both in the hours of work you will have to put in and in the cost of the repairs you will have to pay for once the inspection period is over. So the earlier you bring the home inspection forward, close to the purchase, the higher your percentage of profit on the investment.

• Talk to us before you buy a contractor's apartment or a resale apartment.
• Talk to us if you want to find the source of a leak.
• Talk to us to have the radiation level checked.
• Consult us before buying an apartment or an investment property.

What if you have already signed that "we have seen the apartment and confirm that it has no defects"? Many apartment buyers are sure of themselves at first and take on the job of checking for defects themselves.

We can say with certainty that they will find perhaps 10% of the defects in that first check, and that after a year or two or more all the rest will surface, in a more serious form. That is exactly what the contractor wants when he sends his representative (who sometimes even introduces himself as a home inspection engineer in Jerusalem) to the handover protocol and at the end asks you, nicely (and not innocently at all), to sign that the apartment has no defects.

Even if you have already signed such a document, consult us. There is something that can be done! A home inspection in Jerusalem is possible in almost any situation.
