Home Inspection Myths
Think you know home inspections?
These common myths still persist - let's set the record straight.
Myth: A home will pass or fail an inspection.
FALSE! Inspections don't give grades or scores. They offer an unbiased evaluation and highlight issues in a report.
Myth: A pre-listing inspection causes problems.
NOT AT ALL! A Market Ready Inspection helps sellers fix issues early and avoid surprises, leading to faster, more profitable closings.
Myth: New homes don't need inspections - they have warranties.
NOT SO FAST! Problems often arise in the first year. An inspection helps catch them early while the builder's warranty still covers repairs.
Myth: Buyers don't need to attend the inspection.
NOT REALLY! The report is vital, but attending gives buyers the chance to ask questions and learn more about the home first-hand.
Service Highlight: Sewer Scoping
Why Get a Sewer Scope?
Sewer lines aren't always top of mind for homebuyers, but they should be. Depending on the home's age and the sewer line material, issues can arise. The lateral (pipe from the home to the public sewer) is the homeowner's responsibility.
Main concerns:
- Roots, cracks, or collapses can block the pipe, causing sewage backups.
- Severe damage may require full replacement—a costly fix.
A sewer scope can reveal hidden problems. Catching issues early could mean a $1,000 repair instead of a $10,000 replacement.
Sewer scoping can be done with the home inspection or separately. Knowing the sewer's condition helps clients plan next steps wisely
