WHAT IS A HOME
INSPECTION? |
A Home inspection is a non-invasive visual
examination of a residential dwelling, performed for a fee,
which is designed to identify observed material defects within
specific components of said dwelling. Components may include
any combination of mechanical, structural, electrical, plumbing,
or other essential systems or portions of the home, as
identified and agreed to by the Client and Inspector, prior to
or during the inspection process.
I. A home inspection is intended to assist
in evaluation of the overall condition of the dwelling. The
inspection is based on observation of the visible and
apparent condition of the structure and its components on
the date of the inspection and not the determination of
future conditions.
II. A home inspection will not reveal
every problem that exists or ever could exist, but only
those material defects observed on the day of the
inspection.
A Material defect is a problem with a
residential real property or any portion of it that would have a
significant adverse impact on the value of the property or that
involves an unreasonable risk to people on the property. The
fact that a structural element, system or subsystem is near, at
or beyond the end of the normal useful life of such a structural
element, system or subsystem is not by itself a material defect.
An Inspection report shall describe and
identify in written format the inspected systems, structures,
and components of the dwelling and shall identify material
defects observed. Inspection reports may contain recommendations
regarding conditions reported or recommendations for correction,
monitoring or further evaluation by professionals.
