What Do Home Inspectors Look For?

Published On: December 22nd, 2018|Categories: Blog, Buying|

When you’re buying a new home, you’ll have the chance to have the house and the property professionally inspected.
But what is the inspector looking for, and how will he or she let you know if there are issues?

What Do Home Inspectors Look For?

Your home inspector is on the lookout from the moment he or she pulls up to the house. Some of the things the inspector will check include:

HVAC systems
Interior plumbing
Electrical systems
Roof
Attic
Visible insulation
Walls, ceilings and floors
Windows and doors
Foundation
Basement
Structural components of the home

Your inspector will walk through with a huge checklist of items to make sure he or she doesn’t miss anything.
The inspector isn’t really on your side or the seller’s side. He or she is just there to provide you with a report of what’s going on in the house and whether things are malfunctioning.
