Home Inspection
Scope & Overview
A home inspection is intended to assist in evaluation
of the overall condition of the home. The inspection is
based on observation 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.
A home inspection will not reveal every concern that
exists or ever could exist, but only those material defects
observed on the day of the inspection.
