What Happens During a Home Inspection? (Part 2: The Inspection Itself)

Okay, this is the part where we actually get to work 👇

A home inspection is not just a quick walk through. We go through the home step by step and check the big stuff that can affect safety, function, and future costs.

Here’s what we’re looking at:

🏡 Exterior
We check grading around the home, siding, windows and doors, and we take a roof look from the ground when possible.

🔥 HVAC
We look at the furnace, basic ventilation, and any visible components we can safely access.

🚰 Plumbing
We check fixtures, visible drains and supply lines, and the water heater area. We are always watching for signs of leaks or moisture.

⚡ Electrical
We look at panels, outlets, switches, and any visible wiring concerns that could be a safety issue.

🧱 Structure
We check for visible cracks, uneven floors, and anything going on with walls and ceilings. We also check attic and basement areas when accessible.

And yes, we use tools to help us spot issues faster and with more confidence 👇
Moisture meters, thermal imaging, outlet testers, and a whole lot of flashlight time.

A home inspection is not about finding a “perfect” house.
It is about knowing what you are walking into so you can make decisions with clarity and confidence.

Want Part 3 next? That’s the report and what happens after we are done. 👀

What to Expect During a Home Inspection (Part 1: The Start) 🏠👋

If you have an inspection coming up and you’re feeling a little nervous, you are not alone. Here’s what it looks like when we first show up:

✅ Quick hello and a quick chat
We’ll confirm what kind of inspection you booked and ask if you have any concerns you want us to keep an eye on.

✅ A short walkthrough with you
Show us anything you’ve noticed like a leak, a draft, a weird noise, or that one spot that “just feels off.”

✅ We’ll explain how it will go
We’ll tell you what we’re starting with and a rough idea of how long it should take.

✅ You can stay or you can go
You’re welcome to stay, but we actually recommend you’re not around during the inspection so we can move through the home efficiently and do a really thorough job. Don’t worry, though, we’ll keep you updated and make sure you have time at the end to go over the important stuff and ask any questions.

📌 Pro tip: Write down your top 3 questions before we arrive so you don’t forget in the moment.
💬 Comment CHECKLIST and we’ll send you a quick prep list.

Before you fall in love with the house… make sure it loves you back. 🏡😉

It’s easy to get caught up in the cute kitchen and the cozy vibes, but a home inspection helps you understand what you’re really buying before the emotions take over.

With an inspection, you can:
• Know the condition of the major systems
• Plan for future repairs or maintenance
• Buy with confidence, not guesswork

FXC Inspections keeps it clear and honest so you can make smart decisions and feel good about your next step.

Let FXC help you buy with peace of mind.

Most buyers notice the paint colors and pretty finishes first. Totally normal.
But the stuff that can cost you later is usually the stuff you can’t see during a quick walkthrough.

Here’s what often hides out of sight:
• Electrical or plumbing issues behind walls
• Moisture problems that can lead to mold or damage
• Structural concerns that may not show up right away

That’s where FXC Inspections comes in. We look beyond the surface so you’re not surprised after move-in.

📩 Message FXC to book your inspection.

but it’s also one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make. 🏡✨

At FXC Inspections, we go beyond what you can see on a quick walkthrough. We check the stuff most buyers miss so you can move forward feeling confident.

✔ Avoid costly surprises
✔ Know the true condition of the home
✔ Make informed decisions

Buying a home should feel exciting, not stressful.
Let FXC help protect what matters most.

Quick heat-loss reality check 👇🏠

If a home is under-insulated or has leaks, heat can escape through places most people never think to check.

Here are some benchmark numbers to keep in mind:
🔥 Under-insulated attic: 5% to 15% of total home heat loss can be through the attic
City of Edmonton

❄️ Basement: can account for about 25% of a home’s total heat loss
Natural Resources Canada

🧱 Walls: can account for about 20% of heat loss
Natural Resources Canada

Now imagine finding those problem areas before you keep paying for them month after month.

✅ FXC Inspections offers thermal imaging with our inspections
We help you spot where heat loss may be happening, so you can make smart fixes and save money over time.

Want us to check your home?
DM CHECKLIST or THERMAL and we will send the details.

Did you know FXC Inspections offers thermal imaging with our inspections?

Heres why!!!

🏠✨ Older homes are full of character… and sometimes full of hidden heat loss too.

If your house was built years ago, the “mystery drafts” are often not your imagination. A big chunk of heat loss in older homes can come from air leakage through hidden gaps and penetrations like attic hatches, plumbing holes under sinks, rim joists, and little cracks you cannot see.

This is exactly why thermal imaging is so valuable. It helps highlight temperature differences that can point to heat loss, insulation gaps, or areas that deserve a closer look.

✅ More clarity
✅ More confidence
✅ Less guessing when it comes to your comfort and energy bills

Message us THERMAL and we will get you booked.

Professional roof insights without the guesswork
This video was filmed at a home inspector’s home.

Drone technology gives us a detailed roof view, and thermal imaging adds another layer by highlighting temperature patterns that may indicate insulation issues, heat loss, or moisture concerns.

Even brand-new builds can have a few “oops” moments, so here are quick tips to protect your wallet and your peace 🏡✨

Quick Tip #1: Check grading and drainage
If the yard slopes toward the home or downspouts dump too close to the foundation, water can end up where you do not want it.
Why it matters: Moisture now can become foundation problems later.

Quick Tip #2: Look at attic insulation and airflow
New builds can still have insulation gaps or ventilation issues you will not notice right away.
Why it matters: Cold rooms, higher bills, condensation, and mold risk.

Quick Tip #3: Test electrical safety basics
Yes, GFCI/AFCI and outlet issues can show up in brand-new homes too.
Why it matters: Safety first, and it is usually cheaper to fix before possession.

Bonus Tip: Best times to inspect a new build
✅ Pre-drywall
✅ Final inspection (before possession)
✅ 11-month warranty (before the 1-year warranty ends)

Ready to buy a new build? Let’s make sure it is solid.

GFCI & AFCI – The Little Devices Doing Big Safety Work

When we talk electrical safety during a home inspection, GFCIs and AFCIs are a big part of that conversation.

🔌 GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)

Helps protect people from electric shock

Watches the flow of electricity and shuts off power in a split second if it senses it going somewhere unsafe (like through water… or you)

Should be in places like bathrooms, kitchen counters, laundry, exterior and garage outlets

🔥 AFCI (Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter)

Helps protect your home from electrical fires

Detects dangerous arcing (sparking in wiring behind walls) and trips the breaker before things overheat

Commonly used on bedrooms and other living-area circuits in newer homes

👷‍♂️ Why this matters in a home inspection:
During an FXC inspection, we don’t just “take a look around.” We test GFCI and AFCI protection, note where it’s missing or not working, and recommend safety upgrades so you know exactly what you’re walking into as a buyer or homeowner.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about passing an inspection…
It’s about keeping your family and your home safer.
