About Inspections

  • A home inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of the accessible areas of a residential property designed to identify defects within specific systems and components that are both observed and deemed material by the inspector. Areas that are inspected include the following: roof, exterior, basement, foundation, heating system, cooling system, plumbing, electrical, fireplace, attic, and interior.
