A home inspection is one of the most critical steps in buying a home. It uncovers potential problems before your largest purchase.
What Inspections Cover
Standard inspections evaluate foundation, roof, walls, floors, windows, doors, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and major appliances. A typical inspection takes 2-4 hours.
Common Issues
Roof problems are most common. Electrical issues like outdated wiring are frequently flagged. Plumbing problems, foundation cracks, and HVAC deficiencies round out findings.
After Inspection
You can proceed as-is, negotiate for repairs or price reduction, or walk away in severe cases. Consider specialized inspections for termites, radon, mold, or structural concerns.
