What to Expect From a Professional Home Inspection
|
We are primarily concerned with the 5 major systems that comprise a house: the roof and building envelope that keep everything dry, the structure that holds everything up, the heating system, the plumbing system, and the electrical system. There are a bunch of smaller components we look at too, but it's important to look at a house from a macro view to get a clear picture of the overall condition.
Every single house has problems. What we're trying to do is establish where the house is at on the Scale of Problems. There are "typical" problems, and there are "oh shit" problems. It's good to know about the former and critical to know about the latter. Check out the sample photos/report snippets on this page to get a feel for what to expect. You can also download a sample report if you'd like more depth. Reports are a reliable way to compare home inspectors. |
