What Is A Home Inspection?
A home inspection is an examination of the condition and safety of a piece of real estate, often conducted when the home is being sold.
“A qualified home inspector will assess the heating and cooling system, water and sewage systems, other plumbing, and electrical work, and look for any potential fire or safety hazards.”
