Did you know that the United States has several major building codes for inspectors to follow? Some of these include the International Building Code (IBC), the International Fire Code, the International Energy Conservation Code, and the International Plumbing Code.

A general home inspection that takes place prior to closing or settlement is known as a pre-delivery inspection. If the home being sold was previously owned, the inspection is also known as a final walk-through.

If you are building a home, keep in mind that once the home is completed, many conditions that could have been observed earlier are now covered or concealed by the finish work. Your best bet is to always go with a new home construction inspection.

Did you know that new construction projects (including homes) must undergo several inspections before receiving approval? While this may be a bit of a hassle, it ultimately ensures the home's safety and helps protect everyone residing in it.

08/27/2013

A misconception exists that an inspection isn't necessary as long as the seller discloses all problems they know about in the home. Disclosure rules don't cover problems they don't know about.

08/20/2013

While we don't typically inspect refrigerators, we do look at the integrity of other appliances in the home. These can include dishwashers, ovens, range hoods and smoke detectors.

When purchasing a home, don't skimp on the inspection! In your zeal to save yourself the $200 to $500 that a good inspection costs, you may end up spending enormous sums of money to repair issues that a good inspector would have pointed out.

08/13/2013

Did you know that many types of inspectors supervise the construction of a home? Building inspectors check a home's structural quality and general safety, while plan examiners determine whether the plans for the home comply with all applicable building codes.

08/08/2013

When you're trying to sell your home without putting a lot of cash into it, you may decide to make only cosmetic repairs. Unfortunately, any underlying issues will surface during the inspection.

08/06/2013

More than 75% of home buyers hire inspectors. Most of them have a clause in their purchase contract that makes the sale contingent on a favorable inspection. If serious problems are found, the buyer can void the contract.

08/01/2013

A typical building inspection includes an assessment of exterior features (walls, roof, chimney, drainage conditions), interior items (windows, doors, plumbing fixtures, electrical system), heating/cooling systems, and attic/crawlspace insulation and ventilation.

07/30/2013

During a home building inspection, all systems and components will be inspected and reported on. This includes the water heater, furnace/air conditioning system, duct work, chimney, fireplace, and sprinklers.
