A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house, from the roof to the foundation. It is representative of the house at the time of inspection.
Inspectors typically evaluate the condition of the home’s heating system; central air conditioning system; interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic, and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors; and the foundation, basement, and structural components.
The industry group InterNACHI publishes a Standards of Practice and a Code of Ethics that outline what homeowners should expect to be included in an inspection report.
Buying a home could be the largest single investment you will ever make. To minimize unpleasant surprises and unexpected difficulties, you’ll want to learn as much as you can about the property before you buy it. An inspection may identify the need for major repairs in an existing structure or builder oversights in new construction, as well as the need for maintenance to keep it in good shape. After the evaluation, you will know more about the house, which will allow you to make decisions with confidence.
If you already are a homeowner, a property assessment can identify problems in the making and suggest preventive measures that might help you avoid costly future repairs. And if you are planning to sell your home, it can give you the opportunity to make repairs that will put the house in better selling condition.
The fee varies depending on a number of factors such as the size of the house, its age, foundation type, and possible optional systems such as pools, spas, boat docks, wells, irrigation systems, or septic systems.
But don’t let cost be a factor in deciding whether to have an inspection — or in your choice of inspector. The sense of security and knowledge gained from a thorough assessment is well worth the cost, and the lowest-priced inspection is not necessarily a bargain. Use the inspector’s qualifications, including experience, training, compliance with state regulations, if any, and professional affiliations as a guide.
Even the most experienced homeowner lacks the knowledge and expertise of a professional home inspector. Professionals are familiar with the elements of home construction, proper installation, maintenance, and home safety. They know how the home’s systems and components are intended to function together, as well as why they fail.
Above all, most buyers find it difficult to remain completely objective and unemotional about the house they really want, and this may have an effect on their judgment. For accurate information, it is best to obtain an impartial, third-party opinion.
No. A professional inspection is an examination of the current condition of your prospective home. It is not an appraisal, which determines market value, or a municipal inspection, which verifies local code compliance. A home inspector, therefore, will not pass or fail a house, but rather describe its physical condition and indicate what systems need repair or replacement.
The International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) is the world’s most elite, nonprofit inspection association. Our home-buying clients enjoy the professionalism only InterNACHI-certified inspectors can provide. Axium inspectors have earned that certification, having passed the organization’s Inspector Examination, and we all adhere to InterNACHI’s Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics. We also attend required continuing education courses.
We deliver most of our reports the same day and guarantee them within 24 hours. We also include any photos necessary to understanding a current condition or problem. Inspections that require lab testing will deviate from the 24 hour guarantee.
