A typical home inspection reviews the condition of the home’s heating system, central air conditioning system (weather permitting), interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic, and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; foundation, basement, and visible structure.
The inspection generally takes 2.5 to 4 hours to perform, and the report is generated soon after the inspection.
A home inspection report is a snapshot in time of the home’s physical condition and indicates what may need major repair or replacement.
A professional home inspector should be very knowledgable, well-trained, and able to communicate his findings to the home buyer in a fair, honest, clear and concise manner. As with any profession or service, EXPERIENCE SUPPORTED BY QUALIFIED KNOWLEDGE is the most important factor to consider when choosing a home inspector.
