A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure
and systems of a home, from the roof to the foundation. Having a home inspected
is like giving it a physical check up. If problems or symptoms are found,
the home inspector may recommend further evaluation. Accu Spec, Inc. is

Which houses should be inspected?
Any house should be inspected regardless of age. New construction as well
as existing houses have defects. The inspector uses his or her experience
of inspecting older houses to anticipate future problems in new construction.
Can a house fail inspection?
No. A professional home inspection is an examination of the current condition
of your prospective home. It is not an appraisal, which determines market
value, or a municipal inspection, which verifies local code compliance.
A home inspection, therefore, will not pass or fail a house, but rather
describe its physical condition and indicate what may need major repair
or replacement.
What if the report reveals problems?
No house is perfect. If the inspector identifies problems, it doesn't necessarily
mean you shouldn't buy the house, only that you will know in advance
what to expect. A seller may adjust the purchase price or make repairs
if major problems are found. If your budget is tight, or if you don't
wish to become involved in future repair work, this information will
be extremely important to you.
