House inspection is vital mostly to the new buyers in the market. This is because some houses are well maintained and maybe having issues which if not checked can be hazardous to people leaving in the house. The inspection is good as it will give the buyer an insight into how much the house is supposed to be sold at. The inspection results will determine if the house is worth the tagged price or not. This will help you engage with the person or company selling the house to come to the ground where both parties can agree on the best price of the house.
The inspection teams are supposed to check all things concerning the safety of the house and that of the people going to live in the house. The inspectors should have a license from the governing body and given an operating permit by the same body or the local government. Make sure that you get the services from such inspectors who are registered as this means that the inspectors have gone through the inspection classes and are aware what is expected of them when it comes to inspecting a house or a facility.
The inspection should touch the electrical system of the house. The inspector should go through the electrical system of the whole house right from where the power cable connects to the house. The inspector is supposed to check for loose cables that are precariously hanging in the house. He or she should make sure that all the sockets and switches are working fine without an issue and if the inspector notices an issue he or she should indicate it in his report card. The inspector should check if the house has the right earthling and to make sure that the earthling is working perfectly as this could result in electrocution if the earthling is not working fine.
You should also expect to get a report on the plumbing system from the house inspector. The plumbing system is one of the critical areas the inspectors of the house cannot fail to consider. This is because the plumbing system includes sewer drainage and water drainage. The damaged pipes of the sewer system should be noted well before one buys or start living in the house. The system should be noted early and be fixed as sewer issues can bring in diseases and awful smell inside and outside the compound.
The inspector should inspect the roofing of the house. The roofing could be damaged and may be leaking without your knowledge. The inspector has the knowledge of where to check when it comes to the roof. He will check the material used in the roofing of the house and also check how long the durability of the same materials. He can come up with a report suggesting that you change the material used on the roofing as the material may be not long-lasting and that you may end up incurring other expenses in the near future as you will be forced to change the whole roofing.
