A Home Inspection is a non-invasive visual examination of a dwelling or home, performed for a fee, and is designed to identify observed material defects within specific components of said dwelling (see Internachi SOP for terms of our inspection service). Components may include any combination of mechanical, structural, electrical, plumbing and/or other essential systems or portions of the home, as identified and agreed to (in writing) by the client and inspector prior to the inspection process. See more detail for our services HERE.
We do not carry a crystal ball (at least not yet!). A Home Inspection is intended to assist in evaluation of the overall condition of the dwelling/components. The Inspection is based on observations of the visible and apparent condition of the structure and its components on the date of the Inspection, and not the prediction of future conditions.
