What is a Home Inspection? The inspection is a reasonable effort to discover and Report the condition of the property on the day of the inspection. A look at your home with an experienced eye. Some items such as windows and receptacles are checked by sampling. A representative number of light switches and receptacles are checked (one in each room.) A representative number of windows are checked to see if they function. Other items such as shingles and siding are checked as a group, but not individually. Most people purchasing a home hire an Inspector to check the roof, exterior, foundation/basement/structure, plumbing, electrical, heating, fireplaces (unless blocked), central air conditioning (in season), insulation, and interior (including permanently installed appliances.)
Is there anything an inspection does not cover? YES. The inspection does 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 and the insulation may conceal plumbing or wiring or other systems or the structure. Prepurchase inspections do not cover radon gas, asbestos, lead paint, urea formaldehyde, mold, toxic or flammable chemicals, soil contamination, water or airborne related illness or disease, and any other potentially harmful substances, etc. Some inspection companies offer additional services such as radon, well, septic inspections, etc. under separate agreements. Personal property such as clothes washers, dryers, refrigerators, portable appliances, playground equipment, hot tubs, fireplace inserts, etc. are not inspected. Cosmetics are not addressed. A home inspection does not cover soil conditions or defects caused by geological conditions. Inspectors will not endanger themselves or the property by going into wet crawlspaces or onto treacherous roofs. They will not purposefully damage the property. Inspectors cannot find things that have been intentionally concealed...
