Washington Township Home Inspections
Washington Township sits at the transition between suburban Macomb County and open country, and the housing reflects that. You'll find larger lots, custom and semi-custom builds, and a meaningful number of older farmhouse and rural properties mixed among newer estate subdivisions. The lot sizes alone change the inspection — more property means more exterior, more outbuildings, and more drainage to evaluate.
The rural character introduces systems you won't find in a dense subdivision. Some properties in this township are on or were historically on well and septic. If a home has a private well or a septic field, those are specialty evaluations outside a standard home inspection, and I'll tell you plainly what's included and what needs a separate specialist. I would rather set that expectation on the phone than surprise you in the report.
Older farmhouse properties in the township are a category of their own: balloon framing without fire blocking, additions built across multiple decades with mismatched framing and wiring, knob-and-tube remnants in the oldest homes, and stone or block foundations that need to be assessed on their own terms rather than against modern poured-wall standards. These homes can be excellent buys. They just require an inspector who won't panic at the sight of them.
On The Ground
Five patterns that show up again and again in this community — and exactly how I check for each one.
Framing, wiring, and roofing from three different decades meeting in one structure. The transitions are where the problems live.
In the oldest properties, active or abandoned knob-and-tube alongside later work. I document what is energized and what is not.
These are evaluated on their own terms — mortar condition, bowing, moisture, and prior repairs — not against a modern poured wall.
Larger lots mean more structures. I evaluate what's within scope and clearly state what isn't.
If the property is on well or septic, I explain up front what a standard inspection covers and what requires a separate specialist.
