What is a professional home inspection and why do I need one?

By DrewryHomeInspection

Your home is one of the the biggest investment you will make. Before you make your final buying or selling decision, you should get a professional home inspection and radon test, even when buying a newly constructed or previously owned home.

A professional home inspection will help you gain valuable knowledge about a homes condition. This knowledge you gain will help you make an informed decision about a house based on objective information.

A professional home inspection is an independent, objective, and complete examination of the condition of the visible and accessible components of a house. The purpose of having a home inspection is to:

gain knowledge of the condition of the property
understand how the numerous systems of the house work
identify major defects or system problems before purchasing or selling a house
receive maintenance information, repair recommendations
learn both the negative and positive aspects of the home
locate critical shutoff valves for water and gas that will be identified (DHI tags these valves for
easy recognition)
learn to location of critical filters that will need changing

Before making that critical investment, be sure to find a local home inspector and get your new or old home inspected.
