WHAT IS A “HOME INSPECTION”?
A home inspection is a visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a home. If you are thinking of buying a house, co-op or condominium, you should have it properly inspected before the final purchase, by an experienced, impartial professional, licensed, ASHI certified, home inspector.
A home inspection is an objective visual examination of a residential dwelling, which is designed to identify observed material defects within specific components of said dwelling. A home inspection is the equivalent of a physical examination from your doctor. The home inspection typically consist of a two to three hour visual inspection of all readily accessible areas of the dwelling. However, the inspection will not reveal every problem that exists or ever could exist, but only those material defects observed on the day of the inspection.
