A home inspection is a visual examination of the physical structure and
electromechanical systems of a home. It describes the components and
identifies areas in need of attention.
Most home inspections are done as an integral part of the home purchase
process.Increasing numbers of home buyers are finding that an inspection is
a good way of learning about their new home as well as discovering any
undisclosed defects.
Inspections can also be done prior to listing a home for sale.
Correcting defects and having components properly maintained can make a
home attractive to buyers.
Finally, many homes are inspected on a routine basis to make sure
everything is in good condition. Roofs, attics and crawlspaces are
difficult and sometimes impossible to check.
