Frequently Asked Questions

What is a home inspection?
A home inspection entails an impartial visual assessment of a residence’s structural elements and systems, spanning from the roof down to the foundation. Typically, a single-family home inspection lasts between 2 to 4 hours, varying based on the property’s size and condition. Following the inspection, the inspector furnishes the client with a comprehensive report, usually within 24 to 48 hours, detailing their observations, accompanied by images, analysis, and recommendations.
What does a home inspection include?
The typical home inspector’s report encompasses evaluations of the home’s heating and central air conditioning systems (if conditions permit), interior plumbing and electrical systems, as well as examinations of the roof, attic, visible insulation, walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, foundation, basement, and structural elements.
What if the inspection report reveals problems?
It’s essential to acknowledge that no house is flawless. Every home inspection uncovers property issues, with the inspector communicating the severity of each one. The primary aim of the home inspector is to equip clients with a comprehensive understanding of their potential home, empowering them to make informed decisions in their home-buying journey. Clients should be fully informed of any identified issues, risks, or health concerns that could influence their decision-making process.

The inspector’s role isn’t to advise clients on whether to purchase the house but rather to illuminate the full spectrum of ownership costs. In cases of significant issues, homebuyers may opt to negotiate with the seller to address repairs or cover associated expenses.
