More units means more roofs, more water heaters, more AC systems — and more ways for a deal to go wrong. Every unit and shared system, inspected and documented.
A duplex, triplex, or fourplex can be a great investment or a great place to live while renting out the other units. It's also a property where problems multiply. Each unit typically has its own kitchen, bathrooms, water heater, and HVAC equipment, all sitting on one foundation and under one roof. A multi-family inspection from ATD Property Inspections covers each unit individually and the shared structure and systems that tie them together.
Daniel Windler inspects each accessible unit to the TREC Standards of Practice and organizes his findings so you can see what belongs to which unit and what affects the whole building. That makes it far easier to budget repairs and plan capital expenses across the property.
With 35 years as a licensed Master Plumber and construction professional, plus a licensed A/C and refrigeration contractor credential, Daniel is well suited to the plumbing and HVAC systems that drive most repair costs in a multi-family property.
A thorough inspection keeps a multi-family purchase from turning into multiple surprises.
See the condition of each unit separately, not lumped together.
Plan repairs and replacements across all units before you close.
Identify safety concerns in occupied units before they become liabilities.
Roof, foundation, and main sewer line issues affect every unit at once.
In a multi-family building, some problems stay in one unit and some affect them all. A leaking water heater damages one apartment. A failing main sewer line, a worn-out roof, or foundation movement affects every tenant and every dollar of rent. Knowing which is which is critical to valuing the property.
Many of Greater San Antonio's duplexes and small multi-family buildings are older properties with years of tenant turnover behind them. Deferred maintenance, patched repairs, and aging equipment are common. Add expansive clay soils and long, hot summers, and the foundation, under-slab plumbing, and HVAC systems deserve a close look.
Because tenants are often in place during a sale, access to every unit takes coordination. Daniel will work with you and the seller's agent to schedule access so each unit can be inspected.
Every multi-family inspection covers each accessible unit and the shared building.
