What to expect during a home inspection
What can you expect during your Home Inspection?
What to expect during a home inspection. That is a fantastic question, but difficult for a home inspector to answer fully, but we will give it a shot. Why? Because we inspect over 2000 items and components on a home inspection. We consider thousands of factors based on the property, and examine endless amounts of potential issues.
However we strive to help our clients more clearly understand what is included on their home inspection, and what home inspectors look at, and here is a basic list of some things we look at during a routine home inspection with 818 Inspections!
