A typical home inspection covers the main elements in a home including the roof, siding, exterior grading and drainage, gutters and downspouts, the mechanical systems such as heating and cooling equipment. It covers the electrical and plumbing systems, plumbing fixtures, windows and doors, appliances, structural elements, insulation and ventilation in the attic. When ever possible the Home Inspector will walk on the roof, enter the crawl space and enter the attic to get a good look at things.
