Home Inspection Questions and Answers

What does a home inspector check?

A general home inspection covers visible and accessible parts of the home, such as the roof, structure, exterior, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, insulation, windows, doors and attached garages, and the inspector provides a written report.

When should I get a home inspection?

Buyers usually schedule an inspection after an offer is accepted, during the inspection period set in the contract. Sellers can inspect before listing, and owners book inspections before a builder warranty ends or to plan maintenance. Specialized tests such as radon, mold or sewer scopes are often separate services.

How do I choose a home inspector?

Ask for a sample report, what is included and how long the inspection takes. Many states license home inspectors, so check requirements where you live, and look for inspectors who encourage you to attend.

What affects the cost of a home inspection?

Cost depends on the home's size, age, foundation type, location and add-on services such as radon testing, sewer scopes or inspections of detached buildings.

How should I prepare for a home inspection?

Sellers should provide access to the attic, crawl space, electrical panel, water heater and HVAC equipment, and leave utilities on. Buyers should plan to attend and bring questions.
