WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT DURING YOUR HOME INSPECTION

We are like general practitioners. We give the home a physical examination, looking for systems of problems. If we see an indication of a problem, we recommend that you have it checked further by a specialist. A specialist can help determine the specific issues and recommend any necessary corrections.

We perform a limited visual inspection of the condition of the following items at the time of inspection based on the Wisconsin governing standards of practice. Of course, some places are not visible, and we cannot predict the future. Many of the systems in a home are like a light bulb; they may look good when checked, but there is no way that the inspector will be able to predict when the bulb will burn out.

Knowing the advantages and limitations of a home inspection is crucial for prospective buyers. This will help you better understand what to expect from an inspection. Although a home inspection generally covers the items mentioned in the guidelines, it may also include other items or systems at the inspector's discretion. Below are the items that are checked during most home inspections.
