Report

A home inspection written report is a detailed document that outlines the findings of a professional home inspection. It provides a clear, organized summary of the property’s condition, highlighting any defects, safety concerns, or maintenance recommendations.

Structure of the Report:

• Executive Summary: A concise overview of major findings and urgent issues.

• General Property Information: Basic details such as the home’s age, location, and type.

• Section-by-Section Analysis: A breakdown of key components (roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, etc.), with descriptions, images, and inspector notes.

• Deficiency Ratings: A classification of issues by severity (e.g., minor, moderate, or major concerns).

• Recommendations & Next Steps: Suggested repairs, further evaluations, or maintenance tips.

Ease of Navigation:

Home inspection reports are designed to be user-friendly, often with a table of contents, digitaly created and provided with clickable sections, and color-coded visuals to distinguish different issue levels. Many include high-quality photos and diagrams to help homeowners and buyers easily understand findings. The goal is to make the report easy to read, actionable, and accessible for decision-making in real estate transactions.

With your home inspection, you will get a detailed and comprehensive inspection report, which will serve as your guide for as long as you own the home. It not only describes the house components and their condition, but also provides insight into what improvements will be necessary and when.

The home inspection report you receive describes each of the major systems of the home, including:

• Roof
• Exterior
• Structure
• Electrical
• Heating
• Cooling
• Insulation and ventilation
• Plumbing
• Interior

The report addresses the condition of each of these systems. Any recommended repairs, replacements, or improvements are clearly documented. The report also includes a summary of significant issues for quick reference.

The Summary is often the most important part of the report for people making their purchase decision. Once you’ve moved into your home, you’ll likely find more detail is required, and that’s when the body of the report becomes most useful.

For those requiring still further explanation, the reference material in the report provides additional insight.
