 What is a home inspection
Home inspection is a visual, non-evasive examination and assessment to detect defects and deficiencies of a home*1. It is intended to provide you with valuable knowledge about a home's major components and systems, and understanding the condition of the home as observed at the time of the inspection, so you can make a more informed decision.
A typical inspection includes:
- Roof, vents, flashings, and trim,
- Gutters and downspouts,
- Skylight, chimney and other roof penetrations,
- Decks, stoops, porches, walkways, and railings,
- Eaves, soffit and fascia,
- Grading and drainage,
- Basement, foundation and crawlspace,
- Water penetration and foundation movement,
- Heating systems,
- Cooling systems,
- Main water shut off valves,
- Water heating system,
- Interior plumbing fixtures and faucets,
- Drainage sump pumps with accessible floats,
- Electrical service line and meter box,

*1 If during our home inspection, we discover that you need a more detailed analysis of a system or structural component, we will recommend the appropriate professional. Such detailed analyses are rarely needed; however, situations occasionally exist that require a specialist to do a more in depth evaluation of a component.
