The goal of a home inspection is to give the client a much better understanding of the physical condition of the structure than would otherwise be known. To achieve this, an inspector conducts a visual inspection of the home and its systems.

Preliminaries:
Typical homes take 2-3 hours to inspect. When the client arrives, the inspector often presents a pre-inspection agreement to be signed, followed by payment. A good inspector then gives the client an overview of the inspection process and invites the client to accompany him.

Items covered:
Though the order may vary, the inspector should at least visually inspect the following:

• interior (non-cosmetic)
• foundation/basement
• framing/structure
• roof/attic
• chimney
• kitchen/appliances/laundry bathrooms
• plumbing system
• electrical system
• heating system
• air conditioning system
• garage

Additional services:

• water testing
• radon testing
• lead testing
• asbestos testing
• carbon monoxide testing
