Why You Need A Home Inspection

Even a brand new house can have things wrong with it. The people who build houses are just that, people—and people can make mistakes. Often it can be something that you can’t see on just a cursory inspection of the home.

That’s when we turn to the experts. Home inspectors check the mechanical and structural components of the home to see that everything is in working order. They will point out potential problems to you and will also let you know what you can expect as you live in the home day-to-day. They will advise you on what maintenance you should be doing on a regular basis to maintain your home in good condition.

There are other services home inspectors perform in addition to mechanical and structural inspections. For example, they can check for the presence of radon gas, a colorless, odorless, naturally occurring substance that has been said to cause health problems. There are inspectors for wells and for septic systems as well as pest inspectors.

The price of a home inspection is a small price to pay for the wealth of information and the “peace of mind” you will get from having your new purchase inspected. It’s just another way to be informed about the biggest purchase you will ever make.
