In today's day and age, home inspections are not required for all home purchases and the standards vary from city to city. With purchasing a home, you may want to inquire about an outside inspection and relay some of your personal concerns to the inspector.

 

Look for state certifications and trusted names when searching for an inspector. Many issues are not clear to the untrained eye.

 

Things to inquire may include:

  • Radon Testing
  • Septic & Well Testing
  • Lead Based Paint Testing
  • Foundation Cracks and Stability
  • Plumbing Type and Water Quality
  • Electrical Concerns including Wiring and Service Panels
  • Truss Construction and Ventilation within the Roof
  • Garage Stability and Electrical Connections within the Garage
  • Lead Paint Usage, Fireplace Safety, and Flooring Quality
  • High Efficiency Heating Systems, Carbon Monoxide and Asbestos Contamination, and Buried Oil tanks within the Grounds
  • Window Quality and Exterior Insulation Finish
