A home inspector is a professional who evaluates the condition of a property, typically during the home-buying or selling process. Their role is to conduct a thorough inspection of the house to assess its structure and systems (e.g., foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical, heating, and cooling) to identify any defects, safety issues, or needed repairs.
Home inspectors are typically licensed and must follow specific standards and guidelines set by regulatory bodies or professional associations. After completing the inspection, they provide a detailed report with their findings, which helps clients (usually homebuyers) make informed decisions or negotiate repairs with the seller.
