WHAT IS A HOME INSPECTION?


A home inspection is a visual examination and documentation of a home's visible structural elements, major systems and components.  

Horizon Home Inspectors follows the ASHI Standards of Practice (American Society of Home Inspectors) as well as the NACHI Standards of Practice (InterNATIONAL Association of Certified Home Inspectors).

The major systems and components of the home inspection include:

  • Electrical (service components, switches, lights, outlets, etc..)
  • Plumbing (supply pipe & systems, waste pipe and systems, valves, sinks, toilets, tubs/showers, water heaters, etc..)
  • Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning systems (documentation and testing)
  • Conveying appliances (documentation and testing)

The home inspection also includes a visual examination of the structural elements of the property including:

  • the foundation (including crawlspaces)
  • the roof (including attics)
  • the type and condition of the visible structure and construction materials (siding, roofing, foundation, doors, windows, walls, ceilings, flooring)

WHO BENEFITS FROM A HOME INSPECTION?


BUYERS - To understand the condition of a property they intend to purchase.

SELLERS - Prevent costly surprises down the road when a buyer hires their own inspector.

OWNERS - A great tool for general maintenance. Finding small problems now prevents bigger problems later.

NEW CONSTRUCTION - Buying new construction doesn't guarantee perfection. In addition to checking the entire structure and all mechanical systems for proper function, a pre-closing inspection helps document visible incomplete or poorly finished items before your final walkthrough. This gives you a clear, organized list to present to your builder.

1 YEAR BUILDER'S WARRANTY - a one-year builder warranty inspection, most builders offer a 12-month warranty. A one-year warranty inspection helps identify visible changes, settlement issues, or performance concerns while your builder is still responsible. Our report gives you a documented list you can submit to the builder.
