Buying a home is exciting, but it’s also a big investment. A home inspection helps you understand the true condition of the house before you buy. At Home Spectors, we make sure you know exactly what to expect during the process.
How Long Does a Home Inspection Take?
Most home inspections take about 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size and condition of the house. Larger homes or older houses may take longer.
What Do Home Inspectors Check?
During a home inspection, we look at the major parts of the home, including:
• Roof – Checking for leaks, damage, and wear.
• Foundation & Structure – Looking for cracks, settling, or other issues.
• Plumbing – Testing water flow, pipes, and drainage.
• Electrical – Making sure outlets, switches, and the panel are safe.
• Heating & Cooling Systems – Checking the furnace, air conditioner, and ventilation.
• Attic & Insulation – Looking for proper insulation and signs of moisture.
• Appliances – Testing major appliances, if included in the home.
• Basement & Crawlspaces – Checking for water damage, mold, or pests.
We also look for safety hazards, such as missing smoke detectors, loose railings, or electrical problems.
What’s NOT Included?
A home inspection is a visual check-up, so we don’t:
❌ Open walls or ceilings
❌ Move furniture
❌ Test for asbestos, lead paint, or radon (unless requested)
❌ Check septic systems (separate inspection needed)
Can I Attend the Inspection?
Yes! We encourage buyers to attend. You’ll learn more about the house and can ask questions.
What Happens After the Inspection?
We provide a detailed report with photos and explanations of any issues found. This helps you decide if repairs are needed before closing.
