Onehomeowner may decide that certain conditions require repair or replacement, while another will not.1. The Home Inspection provides you with a basic overview of the condition of the property. Because your HomeInspector has only a limited amount of time to go through the property, the Inspection is not technically exhaustive. If youhave concerns about any of the conditions noted, please consult the text that is referenced in the report.Some conditions noted, such as foundation cracks or other signs of settling in a house, may either be cosmetic or mayindicate a potential structural problem that is beyond the scope of the Home Inspection.If you are concerned about any conditions noted in the report, we strongly recommend that you consult a qualifiedlicensed contractor or engineering specialist.

A Home Inspection does not include identifying defects that are hidden behind walls, floors or ceilings. This includeswiring, structure, plumbing and insulation that is hidden or inaccessible.Some intermittent conditions may not be obvious on a Home Inspection because they only happen under certaincircumstances.
