Home Inspection Question and Answers

By
Home Inspector with Colby Home Services

As a NACHI-certified professional home inspector, I have the knowledge and expertise to provide you with a thorough and professional, non-intrusive, visual inspection of your home, from roof to foundation.

Outside the home, I will check the exterior walls, roof, driveway, deck, etc., then I will move inside to examine the walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows. The heating, air-conditioning,plumbing, and electrical systems will all be examined to ensure that they function as intended. Bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms receive a thorough check, along with the attic and basement or crawl space.

Included in the Inspection:

  • Site Overview
  • Drainage
  • Retaining Walls
  • Fences
  • Crawl Space
  • Electrical
  • Air Conditioning
  • Walls
  • Heating
  • Floors
  • Foundation
  • Roof
  • Plumbing
  • Insulation
  • Porches
  • Patios
  • Decks
  • Garage
  • Water Heaters
  • Baths
  • Kitchen

How Long Will it Take?

The average inspection takes two to four hours depending on the size, age, and condition of the property.

Should I be There?

We strongly urge the prospective buyer to be present for the walkthrough at the end of the inspection. By being present, you will have a far greater understanding of your new home and the report.

Hi Brian,

Welcome to the ActiveRain Blog network. 
Shortly after I started blogging on Active Rain, I wondered how some features worked or how to do some of the things others were using in their posts. 

I searched the site and could not find the "Operating Manual".

I asked some questions to other bloggers and soon realized the the power was in the network since most questions had already been answered by other users.

If you find yourself in this situation and have some questions, visit the post below and you will find tips, info and many features of ActiveRain that have been documented by other members.

Nice having you on board,
