Timing of Component Checks
All 49 checkpoints are thoroughly assessed during the Initial Home Evaluation. Afterward, these items are checked at least once a year, with additional inspections depending on your plan level and the season. Seasonal items, like winterizing hoses, are checked less often, while essential items, like smoke detectors, are tested at every visit. Your SAM Technician will provide you with the preferred schedule for your plan.

When We Check Components
The different plans dictate how often and when checkups occur. The plans also dictate which items are checked during the appointment. For instance, in the Gold Plans (having 4 checkups), seasonal items like winterizing hose bibs or checking window seals may not occur at every checkup, however, smoke detectors will be tested at every checkup.
By checking these essential home components at the right time in the plan, SAM by Mosby’s Home Checkups help you proactively address issues, maintain your investment, and enjoy peace of mind. Whether it’s your first Initial Home Evaluation or one of our regular Home Checkups, we’re here to help you keep your home in the best possible condition – year-round.
