What to Expect During Inspections
Avoid Surprises Before Closing
Home inspections are a crucial step in the homebuying process. Here’s what you need to know to be prepared.
1. General Home Inspection
A licensed inspector will examine the home’s structure, roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems.
2. Pest and Termite Inspection
Ensure there are no hidden infestations that could cause structural damage over time.
3. Radon and Mold Testing
Radon gas and mold can pose health risks. Specialized testing can identify any concerns.
4. Sewer and Septic Inspection
If the home has a septic system, an inspection ensures it's functioning properly.
5. Negotiating Repairs
If issues are found, you may negotiate with the seller for repairs or credits before closing.
