Whether you are looking to buy or sell a home, you should have a professional home inspection conducted. If you are buying a home, a home inspector will ensure the systems and foundation of the home are free from severe damages that may increase your liability in the future. Likewise, if you are selling a home, failing to receive a satisfactory home inspection will make it very difficult to sell your property.

General home inspection items include:

– Structural elements of the home (walls, ceilings, floors, roof, foundation etc)
– Exterior (landscaping, grading, elevation, drainage, windows, trim etc)
– Roofing (ventilation, framing, gutters etc)
– Plumbing (drain, waste, pipes, toilets, showers, sinks etc)
– Electrical (circuit breakers, main panel, wiring, grounding, exhaust fans, light fixtures etc)
– Appliances (dishwasher, oven, garbage disposal etc)
