The on-site portion of the home inspection normally takes between 2 1/2 to 3 hours depending on the size and complexity of the house systems. A detailed written report is normally provided within 24 hours of the completion of the on-site portion of the inspection.
A home inspection is a comprehensive visual examination of the home’s overall structure, major systems and components. The home inspector will review your house as a system, looking at how one component of the house might affect the operability or lifespan of another. Components that are not performing properly should be identified, as well as items that are beyond their useful life or are unsafe. The purpose of the home inspection is to provide the client with a better understanding of the property conditions, as observed at the time of the inspection.
