People ask us all the time if it’s a good idea to do a home inspection when they purchase a home and of course, it’s a no-brainer. You always need a home inspection because you need to know what to expect from your home in the future. Even if nothing is seriously wrong, the inspector is going to be able to identify any future problems so you can plan ahead.
In a general home inspection, the first thing they’re going to look at is the structure. They will take a look at everything on the exterior of the property and check for cracks and leaks. Next, they’ll move inside and check the major systems of the home including plumbing, wiring, and the HVAC system. If you have a wood stove or wood-burning fireplace, you may need what’s called a “wet certificate” to make sure it meets code.
If you’re buying a country property, you also want to make sure you get an inspector to come check out your well. You’ll want a professional doing this, so they can do a pump test, hook up a computer system, check your flow, and analyze the water to make sure it’s good to go.
