What does a home inspection include? 
 

Areas typically inspected include:

• Grounds
• Exterior-Foundation-Crawlspace 
• Roof System-Attic (if safe and accessible)
• Chimney-Fireplace
• Plumbing-Water Heater
• Heating-Air Conditioning
• Electrical Systems
• Interior Components
• Kitchen-Appliances-Laundry
• Bathrooms
• Garage-Carport

Occupants items are NOT moved or disturbed by the Inspector during the inspection process. Areas that are blocked, concealed or obstructed by occupants belongings cannot be adequately inspected.

A typical home inspection lasts about three hours but of course the time will vary dependent on the specific property.

The American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) publishes a Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics that outlines what you should expect to be covered in your home inspection report.
