You're in your recently purchased home, when problems start to show up it's common to point the finger of blame at the Home Inspector .. what was missed? But that's not the problem. The problem is that you, the homeowner, over-estimated the role and responsiblity of your Home Inspector

What Home Inspectors Do ..
A standard home inspection is a cursory, visual inspection of the property components to determine the inspector's opinion of general condition and operability. Only the visible and readily accessible components are inspected and reported on.

What Home Inspectors DON'T Do:
Inspectors typically ...

  • do not disassemble components,
  • do not move furniture to gain access to components,
  • do not perform demolition to gain visible access to components.
  • do not activate deactivated systems
  • do not determine compliance with building codes, zoning laws, etc.

    Additionally, unless specifically contracted for separately, a standard home inspection
    does not include ...

  • environmental testing
  • pest inspection
  • measurements
  • cost estimates for repairs or
  • inspection of ancillary items such as window coverings, phone wiring, security systems, landscaping, sprinkler systems, wells and septic systems, swimming pools, detached buildings, etc.

    The home inspection is performed by the inspector exclusively for the client, typically a buyer with a contract on the property. Frequently the inspection report is used by the client as a negotiation tool in the sales transaction process.

    Most inspectors have their client(s) read and sign an agreement form describing the "purpose, scope, limitations and conditions" of the inspection, prior to beginning the inspection.
