Reliable Home Inspections

---

 A standard home inspection includes a visual assessment of the property's major systems and components, both interior and exterior. This includes the foundation, roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems, as well as structural elements, doors, windows, and built-in appliances. The inspector will also check for signs of water damage, pest infestations, mold, and other safety hazards. Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Structure:

• Foundation: Inspectors check for cracks, bowing, or other signs of foundation issues. 
• Roof: This includes the roof covering, drainage systems, flashing, and chimneys. 
• Exterior: The inspector assesses the siding, trim, and other exterior elements for damage or defects. 
• Walls, Floors, and Ceilings: They look for signs of water damage, structural issues, and other defects. 
• Attic: Inspectors check for proper insulation, ventilation, and signs of leaks or moisture. 

Mechanical Systems:

• ELECTRICAL:  The inspection covers the electrical panel, wiring, outlets, and switches. 
• PLUMBING:  Inspectors examine pipes, faucets, fixtures, water heaters, and drainage systems. 
• HVAC:  This includes the furnace, air conditioning unit, ductwork, and ventilation systems. 
• APPLIANCES:  Built-in appliances like the dishwasher, oven, and range are typically inspected. 

Other Areas:

• Doors and Windows: Inspectors check for proper operation, damage, and weatherstripping. 
• Safety Features: This includes smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as fire extinguishers. 
• Grounds: Inspectors assess drainage, driveways, walkways, and other exterior features. 

Important Considerations:

• Visual and Non-Invasive:Home inspections are primarily visual and non-invasive, meaning the inspector will not dismantle components of the house. 
• Limitations:Inspectors may not be able to access all areas of the property, such as concealed spaces or those with limited access.
