Inspection Facts
A professional inspection is a comprehensive visual examination of the property's overall structure, major systems and components. All components will be checked at the time of the inspection.
A properly trained professional inspector will review the property as a system, looking at how one component, might affect the operation or life-span of another.
Components that are not performing properly will be identified, as well as items that are beyond their useful life or may be unsafe.
The purpose of a professional inspection is to provide the client with a better understanding of the property conditions, as observed at the time of the review, in order to become adequately well-informed.
