A Home Buyer Inspection is the smart move, but don't take our word for it
Read what your friends & neighbors say about our fast, dependable, reliable home inspections.
What is a Foundation Property Home Buyer Inspection?
A home buyer inspection is a visual examination of a home and its systems: interior plumbing, electrical, roof, attics (temperature permitting), and visible areas of walls, ceilings, floors, foundations, etc. No house is perfect. If an inspector finds a problem it is not an indication the home should not be purchased, nor does an inspection represent a work order for repairs. It simply serves to educate you as to the condition of the home.
