Home InspectionsWhat We Inspect The home inspector will provide a visual inspection by looking at the home's various systems, including interior and exterior components. The inspector will check exterior components including roofing, flashing, gutters, downspouts, wall surfaces, the foundation, and the grading around it. For safety and insurance reasons, the home inspector is not required to climb up on a roof to look at it but will make all possible efforts to do so. However, the home inspector will inspect the roof from the ground. This also applies to the downspouts. If problems or symptoms beyond the scope of the inspection are found, the home inspector may recommend further evaluation. In the interior of the home, the inspector checks electrical, heating, air conditioning, ventilation, plumbing, insulation, flooring, ceiling and wall finishes, windows and doors. Note that a home inspector is not qualified to inspect fireplaces. As with the outside of the home, the inspection of the interior systems is visual, meaning that the inspector will not be able to see behind walls or under the floor. A proper home inspection does not include appraisals, quotes for repairs, or pointing out noncompliance with building code requirements. A home inspection is not intended to provide warranties or guarantees. A home inspection is intended to help you make an informed decision about buying your home and should not be mistaken as a warranty on the house. |

Every
prospective homeowner is advised to have a thorough home inspection done
by professionals before purchasing a home. A home inspection can protect
you from incurring unexpected costs after completing the purchase.
The most common inspections are an overall home inspection, which evaluates the home's structural and mechanical condition. However, these reports may also highlight issues which should be investigated by a specialized professional (e.g. roofer or plumber).
