Home Inspections in Downey, California by a Licensed General Contractor

Downey is built of solid post-war tract housing on slab and raised foundations, with some mid-century architectural homes. In Downey, contractors and inspectors typically find slab and raised construction, original panels, early-copper or galvanized plumbing, clay sewer laterals, and roofs near replacement age, plus the additions common to the era. The soils are stable valley alluvium. Downey is a proud, well-kept city with strong neighborhoods, so an inspection here is most useful for confirming the original systems and any added square footage.
