Why is a Home Inspection Important?
A home inspection is very important to the sale or purchase of a home, because it can literally make or break the deal. A home inspection that reveals cosmetic issues won’t ruin the sale of a home. Major foundation issues, severe water damage, or a termite infestation, however, could cause a buyer to decide to back out of the purchase. Because of this, it’s incredibly important to understand how an inspection works, what’s being looked for, and what the results mean.
What is the Home Inspection Process?
A home is typically inspected “Outside-In, Top-Down”, which is very common in the home inspection industry as it helps allow for a more organized and thorough inspection. Here’s a glimpse at what goes into the average home inspection:
- Inspecting the property around the home
- Inspecting the exterior of the home
- Inspecting the roof
- Inspecting interior rooms
- Inspection home systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC)
- Looking for defects
What are the Benefits of a Home Inspection?
A home inspection allows a potential buyer to know about any minor or major issues with the house they intend to buy, and because a home is a large investment, it’s important to know what sort of issues may need to be addressed. A seller may have a home inspection done before they even list their home so they can know if there are any issues they need to address before a buyer comes along, that way they can get ahead of any problems that may be present.

“Outside-In, Top-Down” Approach
With the “Outside-In, Top-Down” approach, inspectors begin on the outside of the property, walking around the exterior of the home. Then they inspect the roof, the garage, and later make their way inside the home. This allows inspectors to notice and make note of any exterior issues with the home, such as roofing issues, to be able to keep a closer eye on the potential impact of it inside the home as well.
Once inside, the inspector starts at the top of the house with the attic, and then works their way down to the basement or crawlspace. The crawlspace or basement is last on the list because any leaks that emerge while inspecting the plumbing inside the home will have time to drip down and be noticed by the time the inspector gets down there.
