What is included in a Home Inspection

The Home Inspection is an unbiased, professional assessment of the condition of the house. It provides you with an expert opinion and professional report on the condition of the physical structure and various systems within a home, giving you peace of mind on what is likely the largest purchase you will ever make.

In order to prepare the report, the inspector must conduct a visual inspection of the property. The home inspection process typically takes about 3 hours to complete. This will vary, according to the size and condition of the home. We strongly encourage you to accompany the inspector during the home inspection; this will give you a chance to ask questions and become familiar with the systems of the home.

We will inspect all the accessible structural elements and systems of the home. Items that will typically be included in an inspection are:

1. Framing (structure)
2. Roof and attic
3. Foundation
4. Walls, ceilings, floors
5. Electrical system
6. Plumbing system
7. Heating and air conditioning systems
8. Kitchen
9. Bathrooms
10. Basement

When the home inspection is complete, we will advise you of any problems that were discovered and discuss them with you. We will also tell you about any routine maintenance that should be performed, as well as answer any questions you may have. A full computer generated report with photographs is usually ready within 24 hours.
