What Home Inspections Can Do For You
By Lee
Home inspections can give buyers a better understanding of the
condition of the property they plan to buy. In this article I will
discuss four types of home inspections and what they cover.
During a standard home inspection a licensed inspector should examine
the exterior of the house for damage and rot, the roof for leaks or
holes, overall structure of the house, the garage, the attic, the
basement for possible water damage, the crawl space under the house (if
the house is built under

a crawl space), the foundation of the house for cracks and other
damage, plumbing, electrical work, heating and air conditioning, the
fireplace.
Some home inspectors also look to see if the landscaping beds around
the house divert water away from the home, to see if the driveway has
cracks that need to be sealed, to check the overall condition of
windows, to check if smoke alarms work, and even to see if the dryer
vent needs to be cleaned.
Another type of home inspection is a termite inspection. These
inspections are especially important in warmer areas like Charleston,
SC, where it does not get cold enough in the winter to kill termites.
Termite inspectors look for insects (like termites) and other organisms
(like fungus) that can destroy wood. These inspections also inform the
buyer about what aspects of the home are conducive to these organisms.
For an asbestos inspection, a sample is sent off for lab analysis to
determine if asbestos is present. If asbestos is detected, the buyer
should hire a professional to remove the contaminated fibers.
Radon inspections detect and measure the levels of a potentially
dangerous gas called radon. According to the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), more than 20,000 people die every year from lung cancer
that is caused by radon gas. If a radon inspection shows levels of
radon that are unsafe according to the EPA, then you can hire a
professional to fix the problem.
Although there many different kinds of home inspections, these four are
some of the most commonly used. The termite inspection is the only
inspection that is usually required by the mortgage company before
closing on your new home. However, the standard home inspection is
highly recommended. If you would like to talk with us about home
