A home inspector visually evaluates accessible systems and components of a property within the inspection's defined scope and documents observed conditions for the client. The specific items included depend on the scope of the inspection being performed.
Accessible Systems and Components
A home inspection focuses on what can be seen and safely accessed. Inspectors evaluate visible, accessible systems and components of the property and document observed conditions. Items that are concealed, inaccessible, or outside the inspection scope are generally noted as limitations rather than evaluated.
What Is Documented
Observed conditions are documented in a report organized in a format intended to help you understand what was observed and which items may deserve attention or further evaluation.
- Visible structural and exterior elements accessible for observation
- Accessible interior systems and components
- Observed conditions documented in your report
- Items noted as limitations when access is not available
What a Home Inspection Does Not Cover
A home inspection is not a guarantee or warranty that a property has no defects. It evaluates conditions within the inspection's defined scope. Some items may require further evaluation by qualified specialists.
Radon testing and termite inspection are separate services. Contact Fact Finder Inspections to confirm whether they can be added to your inspection appointment.
