What's Included in a
Home Inspection?
Having your home inspected by a certified professional home inspector is your first step to insuring nothing gets missed. During a home inspection a certified inspector works off of set standards of practice and often exceeds these standards. Major components of the home such as the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling systems among many other systems that make up a home will be inspected! Your North Pro Inspector will even go into crawlspaces and attics to make certain every visible portion of the home has been inspected. Still have questions about what exactly will and won't be inspected? Feel free to have a look through InterNACHI's standards of practice!
