What Does a Home Inspection Cover?Here’s what home inspectors typically check:
All home inspection companies are a little different in what they inspect, but all of them will check the standard things mentioned above. The inspector is looking for any damage, wear and tear, incorrect installation, usage of poor or faulty materials. The inspection will be a visual inspection, so the inspector will not be drilling holes anywhere in the unit or house. They may bring instruments, such as heat or water detectors. They'll certainly bring a camera with them to document of every component, along with a checklist of items to inspect. Before You Buy: Buyer’s InspectionAn increasing number of potential homeowners now choose to have a home inspection before finalizing the purchase of their home. This very important step ensures the prospective buyer is completely aware of any deficiencies or safety issues prior to closing. During Home Ownership: New Home Warranty InspectionMany new-home owners have their homes inspected one or two months prior to the expiration of their builder’s home warranty (usually 12 months). This type of inspection may identify conditions that will lead to future problems. In most cases the inspection will point out existing conditions or concerns that may be covered under the original builder’s warranty. It will also allow the owners to have these conditions repaired at little to no cost, before the warranty expires. Maintenance & Safety InspectionIf you have lived in your home for a long period of time, a maintenance and safety inspection can identify conditions that may lead to problems. We will also identify current building safety standards that you can add or retrofit to your existing residence. Plus, you will learn about important preventative maintenance measures. Afterwards, you will have peace of mind, knowing your residence is safe for yourself and others. Better yet, you may be able to avoid costly repairs in the future. Before You Sell: Sellers InspectionPrior to selling your home, a seller’s inspection or pre-listing inspection can bring your attention to issues that a buyer’s inspector might later identify. That way, you can be proactive and take care of any needed repairs or maintenance. You can then list your home in its optimal selling condition in order to encourage a faster and more hassle-free sale. You may even elect to provide a copy of the inspection to the buyers in lieu of their own inspection, which can be an incentive to reducing the buyer’s closing costs.
