The technical inspection involves disassembly of systems and equipment in the home, energy loss calculations, and a very technical analysis on the home. This is great, but it also requires someone with a very technical background to understand the results of such an inspection. They cost much more than a general inspection, are a lot harder to understand, and the results will be interpreted differently by each person who may read them. The general inspection focuses on a visual inspection. The report will contain the specifics you need from the foundation, all the way through the roof.
Equipment is tested.
The age and life cycle of the equipment is assessed, and a report is written on this information. The fee for this type of inspection is more reasonable also. Most good inspectors can give you cost estimates for the repair of defects that are found. When you have a professional inspection performed on a home, it cannot pass or fail. We just give you all of the facts on the outcome of the inspection.
