A home inspection is a comprehensive
visual examination of the home's structure and working systems.
It should cover the exterior building envelope, all accessible
structural components from the foundations to rooftop and includes
basic testing of the bathrooms, plumbing, heating, electrical
and ventilation systems. A home inspection will reduce the
risk of having to deal with unexpected defects in a house.
You will gain knowledge and familiarity with the house and
determine whether or not it meets your expectations.
A home inspection should cover
the following:
Foundations, crawl space
Structure
Garage or Carport
Exterior walls and windows
Doors, porches and decks
Roofing, gutters and skylights
Chimneys and masonry
Attic, ventilation and insulation
Interiors
Kitchen and bathrooms
Plumbing and domestic hot water systems
Heating and A/C systems
Electrical system
Catchment system tanks and pumps
Abandoned fuel oil tanks
You should be present, at least for part of the home inspection,
to ask any questions or address any concerns you may have.
