A home inspection is a limited, non-invasive examination of the condition of a home. Home inspections should be conducted by a home inspector who has the training, certifications and experience to perform such inspections. The inspector prepares and delivers to the client a written report of findings. The client then uses the knowledge gained to make informed decisions about their pending real estate purchase. The home inspector describes the condition of the home at the time of inspection but does not guarantee future condition, efficiency, or life expectancy of systems or components.
