What to Expect

A home inspection is an evaluation of the property by a trained professional. It's important to choose a home inspection service that has experience and the credentials to minimize your risk when purchasing the home of your dreams.

Your home inspector will inspect all areas of the home, including:

  • Property and landscaping
  • Sidewalks and driveways
  • Roof, chimney, and gutter
  • Foundation and structural support systems
  • Doors and windows
  • Insulation and ventilation
  • Heating, plumbing, and air conditioning
  • Electrical systems
  • Safety devices

To ensure you get the most from your home inspection, make sure you:

  • attend the inspection
  • ask questions
  • take notes during the inspection
  • read the report when it is finished

What a home inpection isn't:

  • A pass/fail test
  • A warranty or guarantee
  • An inspection of inaccessible areas of the home
  • An inspection for compliance with local building codes
