Frequently Asked Questions

What does a home inspector look for during an inspection?

A licensed home inspector examines the property’s structure, roof, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC, insulation, windows, and foundation for safety issues, damage, and code compliance. They also check for signs of water leaks, pest infestations, and potential hazards to ensure the home is safe and in good condition before purchase.

Can a home fail an inspection?

A home inspection is not a pass/fail test. Instead, it’s a detailed condition report highlighting issues that may need repair or replacement. Buyers can use the report to negotiate repairs, request seller credits, or reconsider the purchase.

How long does a home inspection take?

Most home inspections take 2 to 4 hours, depending on the property’s size, age, and condition. Larger or older homes may require more time to carefully assess structural elements, electrical wiring, plumbing systems, and roofing conditions.

Do I need to be present for the home inspection?

It’s highly recommended to attend your home inspection. Being there allows you to ask questions, see issues firsthand, and get maintenance tips from the inspector. However, you’ll still receive a full written report with photos if you can’t be present.

Are home inspections required by law?

In most states, home inspections are not legally required, but they’re a crucial step for buyers to avoid costly surprises. Some lenders or insurance companies may require inspections for certain loans or coverage types.

How should I prepare my home for inspection?

To prepare, clean and declutter, ensure all utilities are on, replace burnt-out light bulbs, provide attic and basement access, and clear space around major systems like the furnace, water heater, and electrical panel. A well-prepared home can lead to a smoother inspection process.

Every part of the home was carefully evaluated, and the detailed report (with photos) gave me complete confidence in my purchase.
