A home inspection provides a thorough assessment of a property’s overall condition. It involves evaluating each component, from the roof to the foundation, and checking key systems like plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and appliances. Home inspectors are trained to identify issues that buyers may overlook during their walk-through. Inspections focus on the hidden, often overlooked problems, rather than obvious details like wall color or carpet condition.

A home inspection generally covers the foundation, basement, roof, attic, heating and cooling systems, electrical and plumbing systems, and the overall condition of the structure. The inspector will identify any poor construction practices and highlight necessary repairs or maintenance. They will also pay special attention to fire and safety concerns that need to be addressed.
