Home Inspection Service

What is a Home Inspection?

The Goal

The goal of a home inspection is to give the client a much better understanding of the physical condition of the structure than would otherwise be known. To achieve this an inspector conducts a visual inspection of the home and its systems.

Preliminaries

Typical homes take at least 2-3 hours to inspect. When the client arrives, the inspector will present a pre-inspection agreement for signature and payment. The inspector will then give the client an overview of the inspection process and invite the client to accompany him.

Items Covered

Though the order may vary, the inspector will visually inspect the following:

• Interior (non-cosmetic)
• Foundation
• Framing
• Structure
• Roof Attic
• Chimney
• Kitchen
• Appliances
• Laundry
• Bathrooms
• Plumbing System
• Electrical System
• A.C. System
• Garage
• Wood Destroying Insects
• Lawn Sprinkler Systems
• Fences & Gates
• Pool
• Docks & Sea Walls

Completion

Upon completion of the inspection, the inspector will give the client a summary of what was discovered and an opportunity to ask questions. The client then receives a signed written report of the findings. The report is the client's property; no other party is entitled to see it. Additional copies may be produced and distributed with client's permission.

Ethics

The inspector’s job is to inform the client of the condition of the home. He can describe any problems discovered, explain how and why they occurred, and even make repair recommendations. The inspector will not recommend contractors, estimate repair costs (unless the inspector is an active contractor in the particular field), recommend whether or not the client should purchase the home, comment on its market value, or benefit in any way from the repair or sale of the home.
