What is a Home Inspection?
A home inspection is a visual inspection of the structure
and components of a home to find items that are not
performing correctly or items that are unsafe. If a
problem or a symptom of a problem is found we will include a
description of the problem in a written report with photos
and we may recommend further evaluation.
Why is a home inspection important?
For Home Buyers: Emotion often affects the buyer and
makes it hard to imagine any problems with their new home.
A buyer needs a home inspection to find out all the problems
possible with the home before moving in.
For Home Sellers: More and more sellers are choosing
to have a thorough inspection before or when they first list
their home. First and foremost, you should have a home
inspection for full disclosure. You will have demonstrated
that you did all you could do to reveal any defects within
the home. Second, you will save money and hassle by
knowing now what your defects are, not after you have
already negotiated a price and are faced with costly repairs
discovered on the buyers inspection.
What if the report reveals problems?
All homes (even new construction) have problems. Every
problem has a solution. Solutions vary from a simple fix of
the component to adjusting the purchase price. Having
a home inspection allows the problem to be addressed before
the sale closes.
What does a home inspection include?
Our report will review the condition of the home's heating
system, central air conditioning system (temperature
permitting), interior plumbing and electrical systems; the
roof, attic, and visible insulation; walls, ceilings,
floors, windows and doors; the foundation, basement, and
visible structure.
What should I NOT expect from a home inspection?
A home inspection is not protection against future failures.
Stuff happens! Components like air conditioners and
Heat Systems can and will break down. A home inspection
tells you the condition of the component at the time the
component was inspected. For protection from future failure
you may want to consider a home warranty.
A home inspection is not an appraisal that determines the
value of a home. A home inspection is not a code
inspection, which verifies local building code compliance.
We will not pass or fail a house. Homes built before
code revisions are not obligated to comply with the code for
homes built today. We will report findings when it
comes to safety concerns that may be in the current code
such as ungrounded outlets above sinks. We think
"Safety" not "Code" when performing a home inspection.
Should I attend the home inspection?
It is often helpful to be there so we can explain in person
and answer any questions you may have. This is an excellent
way to learn about your new home even if no problems are
found. But be sure to allow us the time and space to
concentrate and focus so he can do the best job possible for
you.
