DESCRIPTION OF REPORTThe report that follows includes a Description of the systems and components in the house as well as any Limitationsthat may have restricted our inspection. The most important part of the report is the Recommendations section. It is herethat we identify any defects in the home and suggest improvements.
LIMITING FACTORSThe inspection is performed by a generalist, and in some cases, we will recommend specialists to further investigateconditions that we have identified. This is very similar to the doctor who is a general practitioner, identifying a physicalcondition and recommending further testing by a specialist.
Home inspectors have a limited amount of time on site. Market conditions and inspection fees dictate that inspectionstypically run about three hours. As a result, there will be things that are not picked up by inspectors. We ask that youunderstand and accept this. The inspection provides great value, and adds considerably to your understanding of thehome. But it is not an insurance policy with a one-time only premium, no exclusions, no deductible and no limits.
A home inspection does not include an examination for pests, rot or wood destroying insects. There are specialistsavailable who can provide these services.
Please read the report carefully, and feel free to ask any questions that you may have of the inspector. Again, we willremind you that a home inspection addresses visually accessible components of the home, and does not includedestructive testing. We will operate mechanical systems with normal homeowner controls. Where there are manysystems of a similar type and a home, we inspect a representative sample. For example, we do not inspect everyelectrical outlet, every piece of siding or every brick or every window.
As you read the report, we encourage you to contact us with any questions about the report or the home.
