Home Inspections

Home inspections have proved to be an important part of the home buying process. It helps prevent surprises and potential expensive problems. Therefore, it’s important to know what to expect.
When the inspector checks the outside of the house, they will be looking for the following things: drainage conditions, roof, chimney, and more. Inside the house they will examine: doors, windows, plumbing, electrical, appliances, heating system and water heater. They will also crawl under the house and up in the attic as well.
The home inspector will provide a detailed report (about 30 pages) regarding the condition of the home. They might even recommend what steps to take to correct an issue.
A typical home inspection will cost approx $400. And it’s well worth the money, because it can save you thousands of dollars in possible problems.
