What Am I Getting For My Home Inspection?

When you hire a professional home inspector, you're getting far more than a simple walkthrough of the house. You're receiving insights that can assist you in understanding the property's condition and making a well-informed decision.

What do you receive?

1) A thorough visual inspection of:

• Structural components

• Roof

• Exterior

• Interior

• Attic

• Electrical

• Plumbing

• HVAC

• Insulation and ventilation

• Windows and doors

• Built-in appliances

• Other accessible components

2) Documentation of findings
Your inspector documents significant defects, safety concerns, deficiencies, and conditions that may require maintenance or further evaluation.

3) Photos of your property and any important findings
Photographs can help you understand exactly what your inspector observed and where it is located.

4) A detailed inspection report
You receive a written report summarizing your inspector's findings. The report will be organized, easy to understand, and useful when discussing issues with the seller, the seller's agent, or other professionals.

5) An understanding of your home's condition
Perhaps the most important thing you receive is knowledge—a better understanding of the home's systems, components, deficiencies, and maintenance needs.

6) An opportunity to ask questions
Your inspector will be willing to explain findings, helping you understand your new home and understand the difference between observed conditions and issues that require evaluation by a qualified specialist.
