If nothing new identified
The kind of things we help catch.
Examples based on past reports. Each finding includes the photo, location, and the reference it was checked against.
Window U-factor label shows 0.32 but approved energy compliance form specifies maximum 0.30 for this climate zone wall assembly
Arc-fault circuit interrupter protection missing on bedroom branch circuit feeding closet lighting and hallway receptacle
Grading at foundation shows negative slope directing surface water toward basement wall instead of required positive drainage away
Engineered floor truss bearing on foundation wall lacks required minimum 3.5-inch bearing length, resting on only 2.5 inches
Bath exhaust fan duct terminates in soffit vent instead of through dedicated roof cap, recirculating moisture into attic space
Residential fire sprinkler head in garage installed with standard chrome escutcheon instead of required intermediate temperature rating
And only if we identify something that wasn't already on your list.
If everything identified was already on your list, you pay nothing. You keep the report either way.
GET STARTEDLimited spots each week.
Every report is reviewed by a QA professional before delivery — not just generated and sent. That human review step means we can only take a limited number of jobs per week. Submissions are reviewed in the order they're received, and we'll let you know upfront if your report will take longer than 24 hours.
Before you ask.
Is Naperville stricter than surrounding Illinois jurisdictions on inspections?
Yes. Naperville has a reputation for thorough inspections, particularly on energy code compliance, lot grading, and residential sprinkler requirements. The readiness report accounts for Naperville's higher enforcement standards compared to neighboring communities.
Does Naperville require residential fire sprinklers?
Naperville requires fire sprinklers in new single-family residential construction. Inspectors check head spacing, pipe sizing, garage head temperature ratings, and system pressure. This is a common surprise for contractors working in Naperville for the first time.
What does the $250 Naperville readiness report include?
The report covers all trades shown in your submitted photos and identifies items an inspector would likely flag. It is delivered within 24 hours and addresses Naperville-specific requirements including energy code, lot drainage, and fire sprinkler details.
What lot grading issues cause inspection failures in Naperville?
Naperville requires positive drainage away from foundations with minimum slope of 6 inches in the first 10 feet. Inspectors verify finish grading with a level and will fail projects where surface water can pond against basement walls.
Are energy code inspections separate from other Naperville inspections?
Energy code compliance is checked throughout the inspection process in Naperville, not as a standalone visit. Insulation, air sealing, window labels, and duct sealing are verified at the relevant stage. The report identifies energy items at each stage.
