For Commercial Property Inspections Please go to www.ColoradoCMI.com

A Commercial Inspection or Property Condition Assessment would normally entail an visual inspection of the entire building on the interior and exterior, from the roof to the foundation. They are detailed as to specific condition of items sampled. Unless the customer chooses for economy sake, to request that only representative samples of similar items be tested and inspected, would most often include inspections of all surfaces, structures, and equipment within a commercial property.
 The inspector would do a visual review of all areas of the building and its systems. This would normally include the interior and exterior walls, structural frame, roof, the exterior parking and pedestrian surfaces, interior floors, all plumbing, electrical and heating/cooling equipment. He would inspect the mechanical systems by opening the normal access plates and service compartment covers to allow an interior assessment of the particular piece of equipment.
 The plumbing systems are inspected for general function and leaks. The supply and waste lines are inspected visually where accessible. Water heaters are inspected for present leaks and probable life expectancy. Where there are fire suppression systems they are normally visually reviewed and the main water supply for them is visibly inspected looking for the most recent municipal inspection tags.
 Heating equipment is normally more fully inspected. At a minimum the system is run through a normal cycle. Many inspectors will do carbon monoxide testing of the heating equipment as part of their inspection. Some will even do full heat exchanger inspections where possible using inspection mirrors. The air distribution ducts should be inspected where accessible in the ceiling voids.
 The electrical distribution system is normally inspected by means of doing representative sampling of the plugs, lights, and other normal outlets throughout the building. In many cases when the building is occupied some of the systems can not be turned on and off. The distribution panels should be opened through removal of the covers to inspect the wiring and the breakers. The main entry cables and transformers should be inspected for visual signs of problems. The wiring feeds are normally inspected where visible in the ceiling plenums and in unfinished basements and or utility areas.
