What is a home inspection?
A home inspection is a visual examination of the physical condition of a home, and its components taking roughly 3 ½ hours, followed by a verbal executive report on any major items found. The final report is delivered roughly 24 to 36 hours later by email. This is usually, but not always, connected to the sale of the home or building and its findings often determine the successful completion of the sale.
A home inspection includes an examination of the foundation, roof, attic, insulation, heating, plumbing, interior, electrical as well as the general condition of the structure and exterior itself. An inspector will look for poor construction practices, components that do not operate as designed, and make note of any repairs that might be required. Most importantly, they will make notes of any fire or safety issues that need to be addressed.
Home inspections are not a compliance to building codes or conducted on a pass or fail basis. It provides a report showing an itemized list of the condition of the home or building and any work that should be done. The inspection and the creation of the report is often a condition of the sale of the home and are conducted on about 85% of all real estate home transactions.
While no provincial or federal legislated or certification requirement exists – ProbeComm home inspectors follow the Standards of Practices and Code of Ethics as set out by the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI).
