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.
