Why Get a Home Inspection?

Buying a home? Understanding what a home inspection is goes a long way in helping you make the decision to get one.

Home inspectors are trained and experienced in inspecting your soon-to-be home from top to bottom. There are many different aspects of a home that you may not be aware of.

An inspector thoroughly inspects the home’s structure, including the foundation, walls, crawlspace, and more. He will get onto the roof and inspect for damages as well as estimate the age of the roof.

Plumbing is another large item the inspector covers. He inspects for leaks and properly working pipes. Your home’s drainage systems, including gutters and downspouts, will also be inspected.

The exterior of the home is just as important as the interior. Damaged siding or peeling paint can be an indicator of a deeper issue. Windows and doors will also be inspected for tight seals and that they are in working order.

The HVAC will be inspected to verify it has been maintained and is working as it should be. The interior will be inspected from top to bottom for any damages or issues, and the attic insulation will be reviewed to make sure it is as it should be.
