Home inspector
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A home inspector examines the condition of a home, often in connection with the sale of that home. This process is referred to as a home inspection.
An inspector will check the roof, basement, heating system, water heater, air-conditioning system, structure, plumbing, electrical, and many other aspects of buildings looking for damage which may require expensive repairs, as well as fire, safety, and health hazards. Think of a home inspector as a detective searching throughout the house for clues that lead to a conclusion of the home's overall condition.
A home inspector is often confused with a real estate appraiser. A home inspector determines the condition of a structure, whereas an appraiser determines the value of a property.
