Home Inspection

What is a home inspection?

istock_Buyers_home_inspectionsA Home Inspection is a non invasive examination of the condition of the visible and accessible components of a home or building. Home-buyers now entering the marketplace view inspections as a way to gain valuable information about the biggest purchase of their lifetime. It helps them to determine whether there are any major defects or system inadequacies on the residential property before they buy, and it minimizes any unpleasant surprises or significant financial burdens later on.

Home inspectors do not point out every small problem or defect in a home or residential property. Minor or cosmetic flaws, for example, should be apparent without the aid of a professional.

The inspection also should not be confused with an appraisal, a municipal code inspection or a guarantee of any kind.

Who is ASHI?

American Society of Home Inspectors

The ASHI inspector’s observations or recommendations may help to dispel home-buyer anxieties and provide useful home repair and maintenance suggestions. At ASHI, we believe that a better-educated home-buyer will be a better-educated homeowner, which is why we take our home inspection training so seriously.

The home inspector’s service is primarily one of education. The goal of the inspector is to provide buyers with a better understanding of the physical condition of their prospective home, giving them peace of mind and helping them make smart decisions.

Why choose an ASHI inspector?

ASHI Inspectors can provide a professional, personalized inspection that combines more than 30 years of the highest technical standards, adherence to a strict code of ethics and the very best in customer service and education. We call this “The ASHI Experience”.

When you choose ASHI, you’ll be working with professional home inspectors who have passed the most rigorous technical examinations in effect today, including inspectors who are required to perform more than 250 professional inspections before they’re even allowed to call themselves ”certified”. No other professional society can match the credentials of an ASHI inspector.
