What We Inspect During a Home Inspection
A home inspection is a visual examination of the home's major structure, systems, and components that are visible and safely accessible. A buyer's home inspection involves a comprehensive assessment of the various areas and systems within a home. The goal is to evaluate the condition of the property and identify any issues or potential problems. Here are the typical areas that a buyer's home inspection assesses:
Structural Components: This includes the foundation, walls, roof, and structural integrity of the home. The inspector checks for any signs of damage, settling, or structural issues.
Exterior: The inspection covers the exterior components, such as siding, windows, and doors. This assessment helps identify any maintenance or repair needs.
Roofing: The inspector examines the roof for signs of damage, wear, leaks, or missing shingles. We also check the condition of the gutters and downspouts.
Plumbing System: The plumbing system is assessed for leaks, water pressure, drainage issues, and the overall condition of pipes, fixtures, and faucets.
Electrical System: The inspection includes a review of the electrical wiring, outlets, switches, electrical meter, and the electrical panel. GFCI's and AFCI's are checked. Any safety concerns are noted.
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems: The inspector evaluates the HVAC systems to ensure they are functioning properly, including checking the furnace, air conditioner, and ductwork.
Insulation and Ventilation: This involves assessing the insulation in the attic, as well as checking for proper ventilation in areas like the attic and crawl spaces.
​
Interior: The interior of the home is inspected for issues like water damage, mold, structural concerns, and overall maintenance. This includes walls, ceilings, floors, and stairs.
Appliances: Built-in appliances are checked for condition and functionality.
Attic and Crawl Spaces: These areas are examined for insulation, ventilation, and signs of leaks or pest infestations.
Fireplace and Chimney: If applicable, the fireplace and chimney are inspected for safety and functionality.
Basement or Crawlspace: The inspector assesses these areas for moisture, water intrusion, and structural issues.
Garage: The inspection may include the garage's structural integrity, fire separation, electrical components, and the garage door opener.
Exterior Grounds: The property's exterior grounds, such as the landscaping, drainage, and driveway.
​
Deck and balconies: This involves checking the deck's attachment to the house, deck flashing, the structure of the deck, deck railings, and stairs.
A home inspection is a visual examination of the home's major structure, systems, and components that are visible and safely accessible. Buying a home is typically the biggest investment you will ever make, so it's important to get a home inspection because the inspector can find and document defects that may or may not be obvious to you as a prospective buyer. Such defects can range from simple replacements or repairs to severe damage or safety and health concerns.
