For Affordable Home Inspection Greensboro Should Be Prioritized

By Melissa Edwards


The inspection of homes in connection to their sale is referred to as home inspection. Usually, the assessment is done in a limited and non-invasive manner. The assessment is done by professionals called home inspectors and they are required to have proper certification and training for them to work in the United States. When one needs to have a professional home inspection Greensboro offers one of the best locations to pay a visit. There are many professionals in this field who call Greensboro their home.

The business of home inspection has its origin in the 1980s, with the first company in the industry being formed by an individual named Christopher Nolan. Nolan was inspired by Carole Kellby. Nolan formulated a very comprehensive system of house inspections. Nolan was a major investor and in order to protect his investments, he found it necessary to have key aspects of property he acquired to be inspected first.

All components of a home that have value are usually inspected. When the examination is complete, the inspector is under obligation to come up with a report for the client with all findings spelt out. With the report, the client can make an informed purchase decision. The report describes the current condition the property is in but does not guarantee future life condition, life expectancy, or efficiency.

Most people cannot tell the difference between real estate appraisers and property inspectors. The main difference between the two professionals is that inspectors only determine the current condition of the property whereas appraisers determine the value. As such, the work of appraisers help clients to pay the right price while that of inspectors help to make the purchase decision. The inspection report assists clients in making informed decisions.

The practice of property inspectors is not regulated by any regulatory body in most states in the US. However, networking opportunities, education, and training are offered by professional associations extant in the states. With the training, practitioners gain knowledge and skills of identifying buildings that comply with building codes and those that do not. Solutions to problems identified during the examination are left for building diagnostics specialists.

The examination involves checking various aspects of the property. Among the commonly checked aspects are electrical and plumbing systems, heating systems, basement, structural integrity, air-conditioning, and water heater, and roof. Deficiencies and defects in these components are identified, including fire and safety issues, general maintenance issues, improper building practices, and necessary repairs.

The aim of the examination is to identify all detectable defects. However, there is no guarantee that every defect will be discovered. For that reason, inspectors are usually not held accountable for structural failures that occur in the future. Clients are given protection of up to ninety days by some inspection companies against structural and mechanical failures.

The United States has laws that specify aspects of a building that can be inspected and those that cannot. In Greensboro and many other places, inspectors usually exceed these standards by inspecting several other aspects. They go further to inspect sprinkler systems, wood destroying organisms, radon levels, and swimming pools among others.
