Compound Property Inspections
Complete Coverage for Multi-Structure Homes
When a property includes more than just a main house, you need more than just a standard inspection. At Uptown Home Inspections, we specialize in evaluating residential compounds—properties with multiple buildings on a single lot—to give you a full understanding of each structure’s condition, how they connect, and what may need attention.
-
What Is a Residential Compound?
A residential compound typically includes:
A main home
One or more accessory dwelling units (ADUs)
Guest houses or in-law suites
Detached garages or workshops
Studios, offices, or pool houses
Shared systems like plumbing, septic, or electric panels
These unique layouts require a custom inspection strategy, and that’s where we come in.
-
What’s Included in a Compound Inspection?
We inspect each building individually and assess how they function together as a whole. Our detailed inspection includes:
Main House Evaluation – Full inspection of all major systems
Accessory Units & Outbuildings – Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, foundation
Shared Systems – Electrical service distribution, sewer/septic, water pressure
Exterior Structures – Garages, patios, decks, fencing, gates
Driveways & Drainage – Grading, runoff, and surface condition
Crawlspaces & Attics – In every structure where accessible
Safety & Code Considerations – Fire separation, unit egress, and occupancy concerns
We call out issues in both the individual structures and the shared infrastructure—so you can prioritize repairs and protect your full investment.
