The average time for an inspection on a typical 3-bedroom home usually takes 2 to 4 hours, depending upon the number of bathrooms, kitchens, fireplaces, attics, etc., that have to be inspected. Inspections that take less than two hours typically are considered strictly cursory, “walk-through” inspections and provide the client with less information than a full inspection.

The standard residential home inspection report will review the condition of the home’s heating system, central air conditioning system (temperature permitting), interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; the foundation, basement and visible structure.

The following are also some key items that buyers should remember and consider when reviewing their inspection reports:

Inspections are not code-compliance evaluations.
Inspection reports are not structural engineering reports.
Systems and components that are off during the inspection are not tested or reactivated.
Buyers should consult with and ask questions of owners and their representatives.
Roof inspections and their components are typically done by an inspector walking on the roof. However, steeply sloped roofs or roofs covered with a material that can be damaged will be inspected from the eave or by binoculars.
Reports are confidential and are meant exclusively for our client.
Inspectors typically will not find each and every defect in a building; hence buyers should anticipate future typical defects and deficiencies. Inspectors typically do not provide warranties or guarantees with their inspections and reports. Buyers should therefore not rely on the inspection as any form of insurance policy.
Further evaluation by specialists is recommended for any areas showing defects/deficiencies.
A final walk-through inspection should be carried out the day before passing by the new owners to double-check the condition of the building.
