A home inspection is a visual assessment of the accessible systems and components of a home. Plan to be available at the start or end of the visit so your inspector can discuss what they find.
What gets inspected
Roof and exterior, foundation and structure, heating and cooling, plumbing, electrical, attic and ventilation, and accessible interior areas.
After the inspection
You receive a written report with photographs, explanations of observed defects, and recommended next steps. Use it to plan repairs and budget for ownership.
