A home inspection identifies issues with a home's systems and components to help buyers make an informed purchase decision. Home inspectors visually examine both interior and exterior aspects of the home. They check items like the roof, foundation, electrical and plumbing systems. The inspector provides a written report within 24 hours outlining any problems found. It is best to hire an inspector who is a member of their provincial association and has experience conducting home inspections.
- The exterior soil grade is too high in some areas, causing untreated wood framing to be below grade and at risk of moisture damage. Proper grading is needed.
- The garage door openers did not have a functioning automatic reverse mechanism, a safety hazard. Repair or replacement is recommended.
- Some minor exterior maintenance items were noted, including door and trim repairs, repainting, and extending downspout discharge away from the foundation.
This property inspection report summarizes the inspection of a newly constructed home built in 2010. The 3-sentence summary is:
The report notes some minor exterior cracks, attic framing issues, and sacrificed floor framing in the crawl space that require repair. Overall the home was found to be in generally good condition with only periodic maintenance needed, though some safety and building code issues were identified regarding the installation of the attic pull-down stairs. The inspector recommends addressing the identified items and monitoring others over time.
- The home inspection report was for a 2007 built single family home in a rural area. The inspection found damaged shingles on the roof and recommended having a roofing contractor evaluate the entire roof system.
- In the crawlspace, minor cracks were observed in the concrete block foundation walls which is typical for a home of this age. Insulation limited visibility in some areas of the attic and crawlspace.
- The inspection noted that attic insulation should be increased from R-30 to at least R-30 or R-49 to lower energy costs according to current standards. Hurricane ties were also recommended in the attic.
The summary of the document is:
1. The property inspection report was prepared for a 1928 home in Tennessee and inspected on March 1, 2011.
2. The inspection found issues with drainage around the home, dead tree limbs, deferred maintenance needed on the driveway, walkway, exterior stairs, soffits, siding, trim, and retaining walls.
3. The roof of the home was estimated to be 14-18 years old with composition shingles and the inspection found it to be in generally acceptable condition with some periodic maintenance needed.
This document is a home inspection report for a property located at 123 Transfer Place, Newtown, NC 88888. The 29-page report was conducted by D.P. Edwards & Associates, LLC on 07/12/2010. The report provides an overview of the property and inspects structural elements, exterior, roof, attic, plumbing, electrical, heating, cooling, interior, insulation/ventilation, and appliances. Items in the report are rated as satisfactory, needing repair, requiring further investigation, or not present/inspected.
The inspector observed signs of moisture issues at the home, including white efflorescence on the masonry block walls indicating moisture contact with the walls. There were also signs of water on the cedar walls and trim, as well as a mold-like substance on the carpet at the lower level and under the stairs. The inspector was unable to determine if water intrusion occurs but recommends checking gutters and downspouts and potentially applying a waterproofing paint to the interior of the block walls.
This document provides information about home inspections for buyers, sellers, and realtors. It explains that a home inspection is a visual examination of the home's structure, major systems, and more than 400 items, with an objective evaluation report of findings. It discusses who needs a home inspection, including buyers to identify issues, sellers to prepare the home and hasten sale, and homeowners to detect safety hazards. The document also outlines what a home inspection includes and excludes, and benefits such as avoiding costly repairs and peace of mind.

A home inspection is a visual examination of the home's major structure, systems, and components that are accessible to the inspector. The inspector should follow standards of practice that determine what should and should not be inspected. Home inspections typically take 2-3 hours but can take longer for larger homes. Attending the inspection allows buyers to better understand the home's condition and learn about maintenance needs. If problems are found, buyers should determine the severity and consider negotiating repairs with the seller.

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
