The home inspection process is the examination of a property to point out its deficiencies, including structural integrity, safety hazards, and potential environmental conditions. The cost varies on the size of the house, age of the house, and if it is a new construction. A home inspection is also more costly for houses with many fireplaces, stoves, furnaces, bathrooms, or if there are two stories. The home inspector will check for structural integrity and plumbing connections that may need to be repaired or replaced.
