This week on Thoughts from the Crawlspace, Jamie dives into what a home inspection is and what it isn’t. The main goal? To uncover hidden issues that could impact the safety, value, or function of a home, not to appraise its market worth or judge its style.
Jamie clears up common misconceptions about inspections and explains why a thorough check usually takes two to four hours to cover everything properly. You’ll learn about the key systems inspected, like plumbing and electrical, and what falls outside the scope of a typical inspection.
