The Long Beach Housing Stock

Long Beach may be the most varied inspection market in Southern California: 1920s craftsman bungalows in California Heights and Rose Park, Spanish revivals in Belmont Heights, mid-century homes in Los Altos and El Dorado, waterfront homes in Naples and Belmont Shore, downtown high-rise condos, and one of the region’s largest stocks of small and mid-size apartment buildings.

What Our Long Beach Home Inspection Covers

Every complete home inspection follows the same thorough system-by-system process:

• Roof — covering, flashing, penetrations, drainage, and attic ventilation
• Foundation and structure — slab or raised foundation, framing, settlement, and grading
• Electrical — service panel, breakers, wiring type, GFCI and safety devices
• Plumbing — supply lines, drains, water heater, fixtures, and visible leaks
• HVAC — furnace, air conditioning, ductwork, and venting
• Interior and exterior — walls, windows, doors, appliances, moisture signs, and safety items

Add-on services available with any inspection include sewer camera inspections, mold testing, pool and spa inspections, and SB 721 / SB 326 balcony inspections for multi-family properties. See our general inspection page for the full scope.

Common Findings in Long Beach Homes

raised-foundation wear, galvanized plumbing, and clay laterals across the pre-war districts; salt-air corrosion and moisture in the Shore and Naples; soft-story and seismic questions on older apartment buildings; and condo-system issues in the downtown towers. Long Beach also has many long-held family properties coming to market for the first time in decades, where deferred maintenance is the whole story.
