A visual, non-invasive inspection
A standard home inspection addresses visible and readily accessible systems and components within the applicable scope. It is not technically exhaustive or destructive.
The agreement remains important
The signed inspection agreement identifies the contracted service, exclusions, limitations, and terms for the specific property.
Code compliance is different
A standard home inspection is not a complete municipal code-compliance inspection, although visible safety concerns or conditions warranting further evaluation may be reported.
The report documents observed conditions
The inspection report communicates material observations, recommendations, and important limitations from the inspection date. It does not certify future performance or establish that inaccessible areas are free of defects.
Specialty services have separate scopes
Commercial inspections, ODAFF Termite/WDI inspections, four-point inspections, detached outbuildings, Sewer Scope inspections, and future environmental services are not automatically included in a standard home inspection. Each service is governed by its own written scope and requirements.
