LIMITATIONS AND CONDITIONS OF THE HOME INSPECTION

There are limitations to the scope of this Inspection. It provides a general overview of the more obvious repairs that maybe needed. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list. The ultimate decision of what to repair or replace is yours. Onehomeowner may decide that certain conditions require repair or replacement, while another will not.

1) THE INSPECTION IS NOT TECHNICALLY EXHAUSTIVE.

The Home Inspection provides you with a basic overview of the condition of the property. Because your Home Inspectorhas only a limited amount of time to go through the property, the Inspection is not technically exhaustive.

Some conditions noted, such as foundation cracks or other signs of settling in a house, may either be cosmetic or mayindicate a potential problem that is beyond the scope of the Home Inspection.

If you are concerned about any conditions noted in the Home Inspection Report, we strongly recommend that you consulta qualified Licensed Contractor or Consulting Engineer. These professionals can provide a more detailed analysis ofany conditions noted in the Report at an additional cost

2) THE INSPECTION IS AN OPINION OF THE PRESENT CONDITION OF THE VISIBLE COMPONENTS.

The Home Inspector's Report is an opinion of the present condition of the property. It is based on a visual examination ofthe readily accessible features of the building.

A Home Inspection does not include identifying defects that are hidden behind walls, floors or ceilings. This includeswiring, heating, cooling, structure, plumbing and insulation that are hidden or inaccessible.

Some intermittent problems may not be obvious on a Home Inspection because they only happen under certaincircumstances. As an example, your Home Inspector may not discover leaks that occur only during certain weatherconditions or when a specific tap or appliance is being used in everyday life.
