Think of a home inspection as your home’s big debut — a full check-up before it hits the market spotlight. A certified home inspector examines every key system — heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical, water, and sewage — making sure your home is safe, sound, and ready for its next chapter. They’re also on the lookout for potential safety issues or hidden problems that could surprise you later.
