Home Inspection Checklist
Home Inspection Checklist
The home inspector will check the structure of the house and ensure that there is
adequate drainage away from the home. They will check for signs of standing water, or
areas that may be at risk of flooding.
Exterior
The exterior of the house will be checked, including the septic tank. They will check for
any evidence of pests like rats, mice or termites. They will note any cracks or paint
peeling on external walls.
The roof will be checked to make sure it is maintained and function. The chimney and
guttering will also be checked.
Interior
Any strange or obvious odors are checked upon. Appliances will be checked if they are
going to be included in the purchase of the house. Insulation and cold spaces will be
required to have adequate insulation in them.
All electrical outlets will be tested for safety. The flooring will be checked for both safety
and damage. Windows, doors and other entry and exit points are assessed for
functionality.
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors need to be in the correct areas with adequate
quantities. As Home Inspection Hub customers know, smoke alarms must be installed
and working properly in any homes or properties you own
The attic and storage areas require adequate ventilation and insulation.
Plumbing/HVAC
The whole heating and plumbing system should be free from leaks. It should function to
heat or cool the house as necessary. The water pump and other accessories like the well
and pipes are tested.
All rooms should have enough air, heating, and cooling flowing to them. There should
be no smell of a gas leak at all.
Electrics
All cables should be secured or protected. There shouldn’t be any exposed wires in the
home. The service panel should be in an accessible location and in good working order.
Inspect the Inspector!
Make sure you hire a registered and qualified home inspector to do the job. If you are
the owner of a home for sale, ensure the potential buyers use a qualified home
inspector too.
