A home inspector will investigate the property's nitty-gritty details and help you determine if it's in your best interest to proceed with the purchase.

According to the American Society of Home Inspectors, a typical home inspection covers these points:

Heating and cooling systems
Interior plumbing

Roof integrity
Visible insulation
Walls
Ceilings and floors
Doors and windows

Are There Any Home Features That an Inspector Doesn't Check?

Although your home inspection will give you a good idea of the property's condition, it isn't all-inclusive. Here are a few elements that your home inspection probably won't check:

Well pumps and septic tanks
Interior wall spaces
Chimneys and roof accessories
Swimming pools or other structures located on the property

If you would like these parts of the property inspected, talk to your home inspector. Some companies will include these services for an additional charge.
