What To Do During A Home Inspection

Although it is not necessary to attend your home inspection, it is highly recommended. Home inspections typically average three hours, giving you a lot of time in your future home. This gives you an opportunity to look around, take measurements, or even do some design planning. Have your home inspector show you where important features of your home are, like the main water shut off. Most inspectors have a routine or path they like to take around the home to complete the inspection but feel free to look around and point out things that you notice and ask questions. Some inspectors will touch base between parts of the inspection and others will wait until the end, as to not slow down the inspection – If needed write down your questions and make sure to have your inspector review them with you.
