A noninvasive visual inspection of readily accessible systems and components, performed to identify significant deficiencies, end-of-life concerns and visible safety issues.
The inspection follows applicable Alabama requirements and ASHI Standards of Practice. Where multiple similar components exist, a representative number may be inspected.
Visible structural elements, accessible foundation conditions, exterior surfaces, drainage clues and other components that can point to movement, deterioration or moisture concerns.
Accessible roof coverings, flashing, visible roof penetrations, attic framing, insulation and ventilation are reviewed for apparent defects and concerns.
Readily accessible components of the electrical and plumbing systems are inspected using normal operating controls where appropriate.
Installed heating and air conditioning equipment is reviewed within the limits of a standard visual home inspection.
Accessible floors, walls, ceilings, windows, doors and built-in appliances are reviewed for visible defects, operation and safety observations.
A thorough inspection cannot predict every future problem, but it can reduce uncertainty by identifying visible deficiencies, safety concerns and systems that may be near the end of their service lives.
