A thorough home inspection covers all of the major components
A qualified inspector should be there for you before, during, and after the inspection to answer questions. You should be welcome and encouraged to be there for the inspection. During the inspection is the perfect time to learn about your property and ask any questions that may come up. The inspector will look for improper building practices and items that may require extensive repairs, as well as items that will require continued maintenance. Fire and safety issues are always top priority during an inspection. A full Inspection includes:
• Roof, vents, flashing and trim
• Gutters and downspouts
• Skylight, chimney, and other roof penetrations
• Decks, stoops, porches, walkways, railings
• Eaves, soffits and fascia
• Grading and drainage
• Basement, foundation and crawlspace
• Water penetration and foundation movement
• Heating system
• Cooling system
• Main water shut-off valve
• Water heating system
• Interior plumbing fixtures and faucets
• Drainage sump pumps with accessible floats
• Electrical service line and meter box
• Main disconnect and service amperage
• Electrical panel(s), breakers or fuses
• Grounding and bonding
• GFCIs and AFCIs
• Fireplace damper door and hearth
• Insulation and ventilation
• Garage doors, safety sensors and openers
• And much more
Please keep in mind though, NO home inspection is technically exhaustive.
Be cautious of any inspector who says otherwise.
While I do my best this does not imply that every defect will be discovered.
