Why is a Home Inspection so important?
Before purchasing a home, prospective buyers should always have it evaluated by a professional home inspector. Although you may feel that buying a home will be a costly investment as it is, don’t overlook the value of having it professionally inspected. Here are several reasons why home inspections in Canton are so important:
Home inspections often reveal potentially life-threatening problems or health threats (e.g. faulty wiring or mold)
Inspection contingencies enable buyers to learn about any major issues or problems before buying the home
It is a crucial step in the purchase of a home
Many lenders won’t approve the financing of a home without an inspection
You have 7 days from the date of the inspection to back out of the purchase
Furthermore, real estate agents and brokers often include a home inspection in Canton clause in their contracts, especially with new construction homes.
What does a Home Inspection cover?
Although home inspectors vary in ability, experience, expertise, and thoroughness, an inspector from Clark Contract Inspection examine everything from the foundation to the roof inside and out. They will note:
if an issue requires repair, replacement, or servicing
whether a certain problem is a major or minor issue as well as a potential health and safety threat
which items are suitable for the time being but should be monitored regularly?
The following sections should give you a general idea of what is examined during the home inspection procedure in Canton and listed on the report if any issues or problems exist in those areas.
The Exterior Inspection
A thorough examination of the home’s exterior, including the crawlspace and roof will be completed by the inspector and include the following areas:
attic, insulation, and ventilation
carport or garage (attached only)

The Interior Inspection

In addition to the above, if there is an attached garage, we will ensure that the wall adheres to the proper fire rating and hasn’t been damaged in a way that could compromise that rating. We also test all smoke detectors. We need to ensure that you are safe at all times and what would be better than getting all of the systems checked on a regular basis. Taking a chance and hoping everything will be good can prove detrimental sometimes.
