Typically, a home inspection covers all the major points in the home: electrical; plumbing; the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system; foundation or structural damage; and the roof condition. Inspectors will also check your insulation, windows, gutters, downspouts, driveways, and exterior conditions, as well as check your home for mold or wood rot. Typically the inspection is extremely thorough and designed to uncover anything that might be of concern for long-term residents.
