Frequently Asked Questions
What is a home inspection?
- A home inspection is a visual assessment of the condition of the home systems at the time of inspection.
What do home inspectors look for?
- A home inspection consists of evaluating all of the systems of a house including but not limited to: foundation, structure, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, water heaters, roofing, attics, crawl spaces, doors and windows. Home inspectors do a visual inspection of these systems and report on the conditions.
What are red flags in a home inspection?
- The biggest red flag is when you see systems that have improper adjustments made to them. This is usually a sign of a previous DIY home owner. Major systems should always be worked on by qualified specialists and not by home owners or general handymen.
- Another major red flag is moisture intrusion. Water can be the most damaging element to structures. Unlike fire, another highly damaging element, water can easily go unnoticed. Water can damage anything and everything in a house, including all major systems.
Can a home inspection kill the deal?
- No, a home inspection cannot kill a deal. Home inspections don't kill deals, houses do. It is at the discretion of the parties involved in the deal if they wish to cancel the deal based on the results of an inspection.
What should I ask during a home inspection?
- Ask any question that comes to mind. Home inspectors are here to serve you and answer all of your questions. The report should show the condition of every major system of the home. If you don't see something of concern in the report , then make sure to ask the inspector.
What are the most common problems found in home inspections?
- Every house is unique, so you cannot expect the same thing to happen in each house. However, some things that are reoccurring include minor cracking due to settlement; this cracking occurs most commonly in the foundation, patios, walkway, driveways and at the corners of door and window frames. Moisture intrusion is another major concern that can happen due to a myriad of situations, most commonly is improper or malfunctioning flashings and trims at the walls and roofing.
What things will fail a home inspection?
- Unlike a building inspection or permit inspection, it is not possible to fail a home inspection. A home inspection is not a pass/fail inspection, but rather a service to report on the current condition of a house and it's systems at the time of inspection.
