Buying or maintaining a home inspection process in Gurugram can be exciting and a bit nerve-wracking. That’s where Housepedia’s home inspection process comes in. We take a careful look so you know exactly what you’re buying or living in. Here’s a simple guide on what to expect when our inspector arrives and until you receive the final report.

Quick Overview — Why an Inspection?
A home inspection uncovers safety risks, hidden defects, and issues needing attention. Our goal is to give you a clear picture of your property’s condition. This helps you decide with confidence. It works for buying, selling, renting, or planning work.
Before we arrive
- Booking & Confirmation: You book a slot online or by phone. We confirm the address and property type. We also check for concerns such as leaks or electrical issues.
- We’ll suggest which systems to turn on for testing, like the water heater and AC. We’ll also show if you need to secure the pets.
Step-by-Step: The On-Site Home Inspection Process in Gurugram
- Arrival & Introductions The inspector arrives on time with ID and company credentials. They spend a few minutes introducing themselves and explaining the scope. We confirm access to all areas (roof, basement, terrace) and any client priorities.
- Exterior Walk-Around We check the yard and boundary walls. We also check external drains and visible parts, like foundations, columns, and beams. In Gurugram, we focus on water pooling, blocked drains, and wear from the monsoon.
- Roof & Terrace Check We inspect roofing materials, parapets, waterproofing signs, and terrace drains. We do this from the ground or a ladder. Small leaks or blocked outlets are often found and photographed.
- Civil Checks (Foundation, Walls, Slabs) We look for cracks, bulging, level issues, and patched repairs. These checks help us determine whether a defect is cosmetic or needs urgent repair.
- Plumbing Inspection We test the water supply, visible piping, toilets, faucets, and drainage lines. We also check for damp patches in the walls. When needed, technicians use moisture meters and dye tests.
- Electrical Systems We check the main panel and switchboards. We also look at the visible wiring. Then, we test some outlets and switches. Non-contact voltage testers and multimeters help find unsafe wiring or overloaded circuits.
- HVAC, appliances, and gas lines The inspector checks AC units, geysers, chimneys, and gas lines for leaks. We run systems (if allowed) to see how they perform.
- Interiors, ceilings, and floors We check doors, windows, finishes, and floor slopes. We also look for ceiling stains that might show leaks and any signs of pests. A technician may use a borescope or thermal camera for checks.
- Safety Checks We assess smoke detectors, fire exits, balcony railings, and electrical safety. We flag any immediate hazards as urgent.
- Walkthrough with Client (if present)
We do a quick on-site summary of key observations and urgent safety concerns. This is a good time to ask questions, as we explain the photos and focus on items.
