A home inspection is a visual analysis of a home’s condition (roof, exterior, interior, appliances, heating/cooling, electrical, and plumbing) performed by an independent home inspector of the Buyer’s choice. The fees can vary, so you should compare pricing and services before hiring a home inspector. Services such as radon testing, sewer scopes, water testing (for homes with private wells), etc., can be done at an additional cost. Some inspections require specialized or state certified inspectors such as On Site Wastewater System (septic) inspections, Methamphetamine testing, Mold testing, Engineering/Structural analysis, Lead-Based Paint testing, and Asbestos testing.
