An inspection performed by our licensed and certified home inspectors includes all major systems found in a home that are important to potential buyers per Washington State and InterNACHI Standards of Practice. These include HVAC, interior and exterior sheathing materials, roofing, visible plumbing, visible electrical, windows, foundations, and other visible components of the property.

It is important to note that a home inspection is a non-invasive visual examination of a residential property. Not all defects may be possible to identify. For example, inspectors can test and inspect the plumbing system (water flow, drainage, visible leaks, etc.), but can’t view components inside walls or components inaccessible at the time of inspection.

A home inspection is not a “code inspection” and primarily seeks to identify major defects and conditions that are deemed “material” and may affect the functionality of the home. We also place emphasis on safety concerns and strive to educate potential buyers or sellers on items that may present issues or need immediate attention. Any questions regarding permits for inspected properties should be directed to the relevant municipal or county building departments.
