If you are planning to buy a new home, you will need to schedule a home inspection before you proceed with the purchase. Buying a home is a major decision, so it’s important to get the property checked out so you can make sure you’re making a wise choice. In this article, our team at OpenWindow Home Inspections will provide an overview of what we look at during the home inspection process.
- Structures – During a home inspection, our team will examine all the major structures of the house, from the foundation up to the attic and roof. We’ll assess the condition of each structure and give you a detailed report of our findings. It’s important to know the state of these important parts of the building so you can decide whether to proceed with the purchase and plan for future repairs if you do choose to buy the property.
- Systems – Our team will also look at major systems such as plumbing, HVAC, and electrical during a home inspection. These systems are essential for everyday living and comfort, so it’s important to make sure they are in good condition. If the property you are looking at has a septic system, we’ll examine that too, as the last thing you want is to move in only to experience a septic emergency.
- Appliances & Fixtures – In addition to examining the electrical and plumbing systems, our home inspection team will also check the appliances and fixtures to make sure they are in good condition.
