Visual-Only Inspection
Client Resources•October 14, 2022•1 min read
Imagine a home inspector with both hands tied behind the inspector's back.
According to the Home Inspection Standards of Practice, a home inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of a house, performed for a fee, which is designed to identify observed material defects within specific components of that house.
The home inspector is essentially restricted in this way while performing a visual-only inspection, which is not invasive or technically exhaustive.
