What’s Inspected During A Home Inspection
The purpose of a home inspection is to assess the condition of the residence at the time of the inspection using visual observations, simple tools and normal homeowner operational controls; and to report deficiencies of specific systems and components in accordance with the Standards of Practice issued by the Washington State Department of Licensing.

Attic, electrical, plumbing, structural, mechanical etc.
