  
THE HOME INSPECTION
& YOU
Why do I need
a home inspection? The purchase of a home is probably the largest single investment
you will ever make, and you should have a clear understanding of what you are about to
purchase. A home inspection is a thorough, comprehensive, visual examination of the
physical structure and systems of a home or building. It covers hundreds of items .
. . everything from the basement to the roof, including the electrical, heating and
plumbing systems, the foundation walls, the insulation, ventilation system,
eavestroughing, attic, roof, etc. The professional home inspector then interprets to
you what he finds, so that you will be able to make your decision knowledgeably and
confidently.
What kind of Home Inspector
should you call? Call a
qualified Registered Home Inspector (R.H.I.) associated with the professional organization
called the Ontario Association of Home Inspectors (.O.A.H.I.) These OAHI-affiliated
inspectors have satisfied all the educational and experience criteria, and perform their
inspections in accordance with the high Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics of OAHI,
and participate in the approved insurance program. Call an inspector who encourages you to accompany him on the
inspection tour, and who provides a complete, written report of all his findings.
Buying a house is one of the most significant moves you
will make in your lifetime!
The decision to buy a home is seldom easy- it's
major, complex and very personal.
The most common concerns . . . Is this house sound? Is it in good
repair? Has it been properly maintained? Does is need a new roof? Is it
properly insulated? How is the wiring? And so on . . .
What kind of repairs may be in order and what can be expected in the way
of costs?

Answering Your Questions
A building inspector offers you, as a prospective owner, a chance to
familiarize yourself with your property's technical features.
An inspection represents an expert and unbiased
assessment of the house itself- all you really need to know about all the
things you are least apt to be familiar with.
A home inspection can be arranged 7 days a week. A written summary
of the findings will be presented at the time of inspection.
