The home inspector will also check for any safety hazards, such as carbon monoxide leaks, exposed wiring, or faulty smoke detectors.
A home inspection is not a comprehensive evaluation of the property and does not include an appraisal of the property's value. However, it can provide valuable information to potential buyers about the condition of the home and help them to make informed decisions about whether to purchase the property.
Home inspections are typically conducted prior to the sale of a home, but they can also be performed for other purposes, such as pre-purchase inspections, rental property inspections, or insurance inspections.
