Home Inspection Standards

Home inspection standards are guidelines inspectors follow to evaluate a property's condition. They ensure a thorough and consistent process, covering major systems like electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roof, foundation, and safety features. These standards define what should be inspected, how to identify potential issues, and how to report findings clearly. They help homebuyers understand the property's condition objectively, highlighting any concerns or defects while clarifying that inspections are visual evaluations and do not predict future problems. Following these standards promotes transparency, professionalism, and informed decision-making during real estate transactions.
