What is a "Home Inspection" An inspection is a reasonable effort to disclose the conditions existing on the day of the inspection - a look at your home with an experienced eye, Most people purchase homes hire an inspector to check the roof, exterior, foundation, basement, structure, plumbing, electrical, heating & air conditioning, fireplace, insulation, and interior, Inspections do not reveal information on the concealed areas or items not inspected. e.g. Insulation in the visible areas of the attic does not imply insulation under the attic floor. Why do I need a Inspection? Home inspectors are generalists with broad knowledge on many topics. Some home inspectors are General Contractors and some are not. The home inspector does a visual inspection and reports any major deficiencies and items affecting the habitability of the property. A good inspector must be well versed in all fields of residential construction and have good communication skills, Home Inspectors give an overview of the conditions of any property and discloses major defects. Is an Inspection an Insurance Policy or Warranty against future repairs? NO! Home inspectors will never be able to predict every repair or maintenance item encountered while owning a house. Purchasing a home brings risks. An inspector does not constitute an insurance policy, It gives you an overall impression of the condition of a house and discloses any immediate major repairs. Are there any Limitations? YES! Inspectors do the best job they can, but sometimes physical obstructions, weather conditions, Owners property, etc. prevent them from doing the whole job -e.g., a snow covered roof or concealed areas. An inspector cannot make representations about what was uninspected. Approximately 3/4 of the components of a house are concealed or out of sight. Can a House "Fail" an inspection ? Inspectors will not pass or fail a house. Professional home inspections are simply an examination of the current conditions of any house. Inspectors describe the present conditions and note items in need of immediate repair or replacement. What if the report reveals problems? Just because the house may have some problems doesn't mean it isn't a good investment. A report will help you understand what may be involved in future maintenance, getting repairs done before closing, and whether you may be able to negotiate the price of the home with the seller. Remember, the choice is always yours. When do I call a Home inspector? After you have made an offer to purchase a property - or before closing - is a good time to call an inspector. Have a lawyer or realtor include an "inspection clause" in the contract, making your purchase contingent upon the findings of a professional home inspection.
