FAQ

Common Questions

Answers to some of the most common questions about home inspections and what to expect.

1. What does a home inspection include?

A home inspection generally examines the visible and accessible components of the property, including the roof, exterior, structure, foundation, plumbing, electrical system, heating and cooling systems, insulation, ventilation, windows, doors, and interior components.

2. How long does a home inspection take?

Most home inspections take approximately 2 to 3 hours. Larger, older, or more complex homes may require additional time to inspect thoroughly.

3. How much does a home inspection cost?

The cost of a home inspection can vary depending on the size, age, type, and condition of the property, as well as any additional inspection services required. Contact Full Scope Home Inspections for a quote based on your property.

4. Should I attend the home inspection?

Whenever possible, attending the inspection is recommended. It gives you an opportunity to see important findings firsthand, ask questions, and learn more about the home.

5. When will I receive my inspection report?

Inspection reports are typically provided shortly after the inspection is completed. The report includes detailed findings, photos, and information to help you better understand the condition of the property.

6. What happens if the inspection finds problems?

Finding issues during an inspection is normal, especially in older homes. The report helps you understand the significance of the findings so you can make an informed decision about your next steps.

7. What is not included in a standard home inspection?

A standard home inspection is primarily a visual examination of accessible areas. Inspectors generally do not open walls, move permanent fixtures, or perform destructive testing. Some specialized testing or inspections may require a separate service.

8. Do I need a home inspection on a newer home?

Yes. Newer homes can still have construction defects, installation issues, or components requiring attention. An inspection provides an independent look at the home's current condition regardless of age.

9. Do I need an inspection when buying a condo?

A condo inspection can identify concerns within the unit, including visible and accessible electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling components, windows, doors, fixtures, and signs of moisture or other potential problems.

10. What is a pre-listing inspection?

A pre-listing inspection is completed before a home is placed on the market. It can help sellers identify potential concerns ahead of time and better understand the condition of their property before buyers begin viewing it.

11. What can thermal imaging detect during a home inspection?

Thermal imaging can help identify temperature differences that may be associated with moisture, missing insulation, air leakage, and certain electrical, plumbing, or heating and cooling concerns that may not be immediately visible.

12. How do I book a home inspection?
