Why a Pre-Closing Inspection Matters

Even when a home has already passed a general inspection or appraisal, repairs or final walkthrough items can still be incomplete.

A pre-closing inspection verifies that the property’s condition matches your contract and expectations.

Our inspectors confirm:

  • All negotiated repairs have been completed properly

  • Major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) function safely

  • No new issues have emerged since the initial inspection

  • Appliances and fixtures operate correctly

  • The home is move-in ready with no safety hazards

This final step can prevent delays, disputes, or post-closing expenses.

Comprehensive Pre-Closing Inspection Services

Repair Verification

We revisit the property after seller repairs to confirm all items were addressed correctly and safely.

Final Walkthrough Support

Our inspectors accompany you or your Realtor for final verification before signing.

System Function Testing

We test plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and appliances to ensure full functionality before occupancy.

Cosmetic & Finish Review

We note paint, flooring, and trim details that may have been overlooked during renovation or touch-ups.

Documentation & Builder Coordination

When applicable, we provide a clear report you can share with the seller or builder to confirm completion.

 Local Expertise That Makes a Difference

Sentinel’s inspectors know the DFW market inside and out — from the slab foundations of Fort Worth to the attic ventilation systems in Frisco. Our deep local knowledge helps identify region-specific issues like:

  • Foundation shifting due to expansive clay soils

  • Attic heat buildup and roof deterioration

  • Drainage and grading problems from heavy storms

  • Aging HVAC systems common in older Dallas suburbs

We tailor every inspection to the area’s unique housing styles, from historic properties in Arlington Heights to new builds in Prosper.

The Sentinel Shield 360™ Pre-Closing Process

Our Sentinel Shield 360™ process ensures no detail is missed — giving you verifiable documentation before closing day.

1. Visual & Functional Recheck

We systematically review all prior inspection points and newly accessible areas.

2. System Verification

Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems are tested again under operational conditions.

3. Thermal & Moisture Scan

Infrared imaging detects any new leaks or insulation voids that developed since the last visit.

4. Repair Confirmation

We compare repair receipts and photographic evidence with our on-site findings.

5. Digital Summary & Walkthrough Review

You’ll receive a concise report confirming completion and readiness for closing.

Sentinel Shield 360™ means confidence at every level — from soil to structure.
