Alhambra, California Commercial Property Inspection Services

When you invest in a commercial property in Alhambra, you need accurate information about the building’s condition before making important financial decisions. A thorough commercial property inspection helps buyers, owners, and investors identify potential issues early, plan for repairs, and protect their long term investment. Commercial Real Estate Inspectors (CREI) provides detailed, high quality inspection services for properties throughout Alhambra and the surrounding Los Angeles County area. With decades of experience and certified commercial inspectors, we understand the unique challenges found in California buildings, including aging structures, seismic concerns, balcony failures, and hidden water intrusion. Our goal is to give you clear, reliable information so you can make confident decisions.

Our Commercial Inspection Services in Alhambra

CREI provides a wide range of inspection services tailored to commercial properties across industries. Whether you own or are purchasing a multi-family building, retail space, office complex, or industrial facility, we offer complete evaluations that meet your project needs.

Multi-Family Property Inspections

Multi-family properties often have complex systems and higher occupant loads. The rules and regulations surrounding certain structures have become more stringent in recent years due to new laws, such as the recent passing of balcony inspection legislation like SB 326 and SB 721. Our inspections help identify issues such as:

Structural defects
Electrical and mechanical problems
Roof deterioration
Plumbing concerns
Balcony and deck hazards
Accessibility compliance

We work with property owners, investors, and management companies to help ensure safety and protect long term asset value.

Commercial Real Estate

CREI inspects a wide variety of commercial buildings in Alhambra, including:

Office buildings
Retail centers
Restaurants
Warehouses
Industrial facilities
Mixed use properties

Our reports provide a clear overview of current conditions and recommendations for needed repairs, upgrades, and maintenance.

Sewer Line Inspections

Hidden sewer problems can lead to major expenses. We use advanced sewer camera technology to inspect underground sewer lines for issues such as:

Blockages
Cracks or breaks
Root intrusion
Pipe corrosion
Alignment or flow issues

Sewer camera inspections are especially valuable for older Alhambra properties, where original clay or cast iron pipes may be deteriorating. Without proper inspections, these issues can lead to serious problems. By tackling them early on after an inspection, we can potentially save you thousands on more expensive repairs.

Property Condition Inspections

A Property Condition Assessment (PCA) provides a comprehensive review of the building’s systems and structural components. This includes:

Roofing
HVAC systems
Electrical panels and wiring
Plumbing and water supply
Foundation and framing
Parking lots and exterior structures

Our detailed reports help property owners plan for capital improvements, negotiate purchases, and manage risk.

Deck and Balcony Inspections

California’s SB 721 and SB 326 require ongoing inspections of exterior elevated elements for many multi-unit residential properties. CREI provides professional balcony and deck inspections that help identify:

Dry rot
Water intrusion
Rusted connectors
Structural weaknesses
Load bearing concerns

Balcony and deck safety is essential in Alhambra’s older apartment buildings. Our inspections help ensure code compliance and prevent liability.

Risk Assessment Reports

Our risk assessment evaluations help owners and investors understand safety hazards and long term maintenance considerations. These reports offer:

Hazard identification
Repair priority rankings
Budget planning guidance
Documentation for lenders, insurers, or buyers

This service is especially useful for property owners seeking to reduce liability and maintain long term property health. Our reports are essential to property owners who are looking to maintain their buildings and necessary systems.

Benefits of a Professional Commercial Inspection

A commercial property inspection offers significant financial and safety benefits. When you hire an experienced commercial inspector, you gain:

Clear understanding of a building’s condition
Early detection of costly repair issues
Better negotiation leverage for buyers
Improved maintenance planning for owners
Increased safety and code compliance
Reduced liability exposure
Confidence that your investment is protected

Inspections are not just about identifying problems. They also highlight strengths, estimate remaining life spans of major systems, and provide valuable foresight for budgeting and facility management.

Our Commercial Building Inspection Process

CREI follows a structured inspection process that ensures thorough evaluation and accurate reporting. We tailor each inspection to the type of property and the needs of the client, whether buying, selling, or maintaining an existing building. Our process generally includes:

Consultation to understand your goals and concerns
Review of available documents, plans, and prior reports
Full onsite inspection of structural, mechanical, and safety components
Use of specialized tools such as moisture meters, thermal imaging, and sewer cameras
Photographic documentation of findings
Preparation of a clear, organized report
Follow up explanation and guidance

We make sure you receive not only data, but also meaningful interpretation to help you make informed decisions.

What We Look for During Commercial Inspections

During an inspection, we examine all major systems and components, including:

Foundation and structural framing
Exterior walls and cladding
Roofing materials and drainage systems
Windows and doors
Balconies, decks, and elevated walkways
Electrical service and distribution
Plumbing supply and waste lines
HVAC and mechanical systems
Fire safety equipment
Parking areas and site grading

We also look for signs of wear, water intrusion, deferred maintenance, safety hazards, and components near the end of their service life. You deserve an inspection team that is trained and certified to investigate every important infrastructural system and won’t leave you with a missed disaster waiting to happen.

"Mr. Pace: I can’t thank you enough for your professionalism and your assistance in getting this done so quickly. I will review the report fully and contact you if I have any questions. The Seller (who was there) commented on your professional manner, as well, and was very impressed with your team. If you can, would you send me the information on that roofing company/roofer who has the info on the ‘white plastic-type’ material that we may consider installing on the roof."

-

"This makes a lot of sense. How much, is what I always ask of an inspector and this gives me that data. It is easy to read and exactly what I needed. Thanks for your prompt response to my needs. I will call you every time from now on."

-

"Wow, I really needed this cost information you included in the report. I would have spent the rest of the week at least, just gathering all the people needed to get it. This saved me a lot of time and gave me exactly what I needed, and all in less than 24 hours!"

-

"On several occasions they identified items I had overlooked which would have cost me 10's of thousands of dollars. Having identified the issue during my contingency period I was able to negotiate a discount.

I highly recommend the team at Commercial Real Estate Inspectors!”
