A home inspection is a visual evaluation and assessment of all the exterior and interior structural and mechanical systems, components and parts found throughout the home. The home inspector looks for items that are not performing as intended or designed, or which do not respond to normal operating controls. We observe, test or operate safety devices, appliances, AC and furnace, faucets and plumbing fixtures, electrical outlets and visible electrical systems and components including panels, switches and light fixtures. Emphasis is given to issues that affect life safety. 

It's always good if the buyer can be present for their home inspection, but we also realize that's not always possible. The report you receive is like an owners manual and serves as an excellent baseline and future reference document. Details and specifications on the home's systems and components are organized for easy reference and provided in clear, concise, easy-to-understand terms. Each section provides an accurate description of the homes true and present condition. Recommendations for repair, replacement or upgrade (if needed) are written so that a tradesmen or specialty contractor can quickly assess and prepare for any repair issues. We realize that this may be the only opportunity you have to learn about your home.
