What is a Home Inspection?
A home inspection is a professional evaluation of the condition of a house. It determines the home’s suitability for purchase or rental purposes. Home inspections are integral to real estate transactions all over the US. Inspections prevent fraudulent activities, safeguard the buyer’s money, and help a seller get a fair price for what his property is worth.
During a home inspection, an inspector looks at various aspects of the house; these include the structural and functional components. The inspector will look at the home’s structural integrity, safety, heating and cooling systems, electrical wiring, plumbing and drainage systems, roofing materials, foundation and basement conditions, and exterior walls and windows. Testing for functionality and normal operating conditions of appliances like stoves and refrigerators (washer and dryer are not part of the home inspection testing).
A home inspection typically takes two hours to complete, but this time can vary and is affected by location, age, and house size. The home inspector presents the homeowner with a detailed report at the end of the inspection. These reports include photos with notes on what he or she has found during their inspection.
