Why A Home Inspection?
A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the structure, systems and components of a home - from the foundation to the roof. Objects that are evaluated (with some variations based on state laws) include the following:
| · Attic | · Exterior and siding | · Plumbing |
| · Basement | · Floors | · Roof |
| · Ceilings | · Foundation | · Sidewalk |
| · Crawlspaces | · Garage | · Structure |
| · Doors | · Heating and air conditioning | · Ventilation |
| · Driveway | · Interior--water penetration | · Walls |
| · Electrical system | · Major appliances | · Windows |
While a home cannot fail an inspection, its components can. A home inspection provides you with an independent opinion as to the condition of the property at the time of the inspection. An inspector typically spends between two to three hours evaluating a home, and may recommend further evaluation if problems or symptoms are discovered. U.S. Inspect strongly encourages you to attend the inspection with our consultant so that you can ask questions and learn all about your home.
