Alpha Building Inspections provides InterNACHI-certified, fully insured home inspections in Dover, NH and throughout Strafford County, with same-day digital reports and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Dover is one of New Hampshire’s fastest-growing cities, home to a rich mix of property types: colonial-era Colonials on Silver Street (some dating to 1710), newer subdivisions near Henry Law Park, and waterfront properties along the Cocheco River. Our inspectors know Dover’s housing stock inside and out, from older mill-era homes to newer Strafford County construction.

What’s Included in Your Dover Home Inspection

Our comprehensive home inspection in Dover, NH covers every major system and component of your property. In particular, here’s what we examine:

1

Exterior & Roof

We begin by inspecting siding, roofing materials (shingles, flat, metal), chimneys, gutters, and all exterior electrical and plumbing fixtures. Additionally, Dover's wet New England winters accelerate wear, so we look closely at flashing, ice dam vulnerability, and fascia condition.
2

Foundation, Basement & Crawlspace

Next, we enter every crawlspace and inspect your foundation, basement walls, and floor systems for water intrusion, structural movement, and insulation gaps. In particular, Strafford County's clay-heavy soils can put pressure on older foundations, which is why we flag early warning signs before they become costly.
3

Plumbing & Water Systems

From there, we check your water heater, supply and drain lines, sinks, showers, tubs, and fixtures throughout. Furthermore, well and water testing add-ons are available for Dover properties on private water systems.
4

Electrical Systems

We also inspect the main panel, sub-panels, breakers, and accessible outlets for safety, proper grounding, and code compliance — especially important in Dover's older Colonial and Victorian homes.
5

HVAC & Heating

In addition, we test and inspect your furnace, boiler, air handlers, and any air conditioning systems. Given Dover's cold winters, heating system reliability is particularly critical.
6

Interior & Grading

Finally, we check for signs of moisture intrusion, structural movement, and settlement inside the home, and verify that lot grading slopes away from the foundation to protect your investment long-term.

Our inspector was Luke Harrington with Alpha Home Inspections. Luke showed up an hour early, was extremely thorough and took his time in inspecting every inch of our place. As first time homebuyers, this experience needed to be informative and honest and that's exactly what you'll get with Luke/Alpha.
