My job as your Home Inspector is to point out items or conditions on your property which may be in need of repair, may be a risk to other components of the building or it’s occupants, or may effect the property’s ability to qualify for certain types of financing or insurance. Every inspection report will vary depending on the specific property – as each home is unique. However, there are eight essential categories which, without a doubt, will be on your home’s inspection report. Here is an abbreviated description of each:
1. Exterior
Defects on the exterior of the home are usually noticeable – even without the trained eye of a professional inspector. I will be looking for:
2. Roof/Attic
Damaged or old roofs can lead to bigger issues, so I will need to inspect the attic structure and integrity of the roof and roofing materials. The attic’s condition can affect the roof, and vice versa, which is why inspecting both is necessary.
Roof Items:
Attic Items:
3. Foundation/Grounds
A damaged foundation can lead to costly repairs. Since the foundation of the home is essential to a home’s structural integrity, it is something I look at closely during every home inspection.
4. Interior
The interior of the home should be well maintained and free from damage. Every home will have typical wear and tear, however I will be looking for signs of abnormal damage which could mean underlying problems.
5. Structure
The structure of the home is the wooden framework that was built before drywall, insulation and anything else was added. The structure is the bones of the house, and if it is damaged or built incorrectly the home may be unsafe to live in.
6. Electrical
Electrical problems are dangerous and costly to repair if there is severe damage, so I will be checking the electrical systems thoroughly. If I do find defects in the home’s electrical systems, you should have a professional electrician out to determine the severity and cost to repair.
7. Plumbing
Plumbing problems are some of the most expensive repairs – and not something I would recommend you deal with on your own. I will check all of the plumbing systems and determine if a professional plumber should be contacted for further analysis.
8. HVAC (Heating/Cooling System)
I will make sure the HVAC system is working and properly maintained, so you and your family will have a comfortable & safe home to enjoy.
No home is perfect, so you can expect me to find a few defects during the inspection, but that doesn’t mean that the home isn’t right for you! After the inspection, I will give you a copy of the report and walk you through my findings to make sure you understand the current condition of the home, and give suggestions of repairs that you and your agent can consider negotiating with the seller. Remember, each home is different, and this is just an abbreviated list. Your report will have many more details about all of the systems and components of your home. My goal is to make sure you have the information you need, when you need it, to make sound decisions regarding the condition of your home :-)
