A home inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of the accessible areas of the home. It is designed to identify defects within specific systems and components of the home defined by Standards that are both observed and deemed material by the inspector.
For a clear understanding of what will be included/excluded in an inspection it is best to refer to Internachi’s standard of practise which 204 Inspections follows.
A home inspection usually takes between 3 – 4 hours but this can change do to the size of the home and additional services requested.
