Frequently asked questions

What can I expect from a HomeView inspection?
A HomeView inspection is a visual, non-invasive examination of the physical condition of the home. The purpose is to provide an understanding of the condition of the home so the consumer can make an intelligent purchase decision.

What else is included?
A basic HomeView inspection covers all working mechanical systems of the home, including: electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning and all major appliances remaining after the sale.  A HomeView inspection will help determine any major costs that will arise after the sale of the home. It is not a warranty or a guarantee.

Why can't I just have a friend who's a builder inspect the home?
Home builders may have great knowledge in certain areas of the inspection process, but may be lacking in other areas critical to safety and mechanical systems. Your HomeView inspector is trained to detect deficiencies and safety concerns in all areas of the home.

What does a HomeView inspection report include?

•         Grounds

•         Exterior

•         Foundation

•         Basement/Crawl Space

•         Roof/Attic

•         Plumbing

•         Heating/Cooling

•         Electrical

•         Interior

•         Garage

•         Kitchen

•         Bathrooms

A HomeView report also contains a contract between the home buyer and HomeView Inc., a fee schedule, a copy of the ASHI Standards of Practice, a narrative describing any deficiencies of the property discovered within the scope of the inspection and a general synopsis of the property's current condition.

Password protected online reports

Your Homeview inspection report will be made available to you through the HomeGauge reporting system, usually within 24 hours of the inspection.
