What a Home Inspection Is — and Is Not
A home inspection is visual and non-destructive. It is not an appraisal, engineering analysis, environmental assessment, code-compliance certification, insurance adjustment or guarantee of future performance. Concealed conditions cannot be reported, and inaccessible or unsafe areas may be excluded and documented as limitations.
