What is a Home Inspection?
A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the structure and systems of a home, from the roof to the foundation.
What does a home inspection include?
The home inspection report will cover the condition of the home's exterior (driveway, sidewalks, landscaping, etc); foundation; structural components; roof; attic and visible insulations; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; heating system, central air conditioning system (temperature permitting); interior plumbing and electrical systems; It will also determine the current state of any appliances being sold with the home.
Why do I need a home inspection?
Buying a home could be the single largest investment you will ever make. To minimize the chances of unpleasant surprises and unexpected difficulties, you’ll want to learn as much as you can about the newly constructed or existing house before you buy it. A home inspection may identify the need for major repairs or builder oversights, as well as the need for maintenance to keep it in good shape. After the inspection, you will know a lot more about the house, which will allow you to make decisions with confidence and peace of mind.
If you already are a homeowner, a home inspection can identify problems in the making and suggest preventive measures that might help you avoid costly future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, a home inspection can give you the opportunity to make repairs that will put the house in better selling condition.
Can I do a home inspection on my own?
There is nothing that says you can not do your own home inspection. However, home buyers tend to be bias in their observations due to emotions towards a house or area. Some home buyers may over look a very costly problem because they fall in love with the area or appearance of the exterior of the house. Having an outside perspective from a professional home inspector outweighs the risks from many home buyers. With the knowledge and expertise of a home inspector, and the seamless templates customized to each inspector, every inch of a home is inspected and documented in the detailed, written report of the property.
Do I have to be there during the inspection?
Although it is not required for a prospective buyer or seller to be present during an inspection, it is highly encouraged. This gives the opportunity to observe and ask questions during the inspection to learn even more about the condition of the home.
Can a home fail an inspection?
No. A professional home inspection is an examination of the current condition of a house. It is not an appraisal, which determines market value. It is not a municipal inspection, which verifies local code compliance. A home inspector, therefore, will not pass or fail a house, but rather describe its physical condition and indicate what components and systems may need major repair or replacement.
