A home inspection is a professional evaluation of a property’s condition, usually performed after the buyer and seller are under contract.
During a home inspection, a licensed inspector examines the home’s major systems and components, including:
* Roof
* Foundation and structure
* Plumbing
* Electrical system
* HVAC (heating and air conditioning)
* Windows and doors
* Walls, ceilings, and floors
* Appliances (if included in the sale)
The inspector then provides a report identifying any defects, safety concerns, or maintenance issues. In short, a home inspection is a thorough check of a home’s condition to help the buyer make an informed decision before closing
