Sample Residential Inspection Report
A septic test is a pass/fail test: either it works or it doesn't work. With a home it's not as simple as pass / fail. All homes require maintenance and should have preventive maintenance performed on a regular basis. Unfortunately most homes do not have this maintenance done. A home inspection will help you determine if the home has been maintained or to what extent maintenance will be needed. Most homes have "issues". These issues can range from major to minor depending on many factors (e.g. climate, construction, maintenance, pests, and people). Some issues can be as small and inexpensive as caulking around the bathtub. Others can be as large replacing the entire bathroom wall and sub-flooring because of not caulking the bathtub.
A Triplex or Fourplex inspection will take 3 to 4 hours, at the end of which you will be given a verbal summary, Followed by a bound detailed narrative inspection report, a CD with an electronic copy of your inspection report, in two to three business days.
We will also e-mail you and your agent an electronic copy of your inspection report generally the next business day.
Inspection Summary
What a Home Inspection is NOT
A Home Inspection is not a pass/fail test
A Home Inspection is not a Code Compliancy Check
The residential building code changes (updated) every 3 years. Homes built this year may or may not be "code compliant" next year. Unless there is a major life safety reason to upgrade an existing home it does not have to be compliant with the current code. REMEMBER building codes are written to establish a building is safe not the people inside the building.
Benefits of a Home Inspection
1. Provides the buyer with an understanding of the house's condition.
2. May help to uncover items that the seller was not even aware of.
3. Allows buyer to more realistically approach the purchase.
4. Helps to budget for repairs and maintenance.
5. Educates first time, and even seasoned buyers, about houses, their systems and components and the proper "care and feeding" of a home
