A home inspection shall evaluate observable and/or accessible structural components, as well as the foundation, roof and

any other exterior components. Adjacent walkways and driveways are included in a typical home inspection, as well as



Greenstem

patios, decks, stairs and fences. Surface drainage/grading and exterior components like retaining walls will be inspected as

they relate to the home's structural integrity or possible degradation due to water intrusion etc.

Interior Components:Interior Components:

The heating/AC will be inspected along with exhaust systems, fireplaces, plumbing, electrical, doors, windows and other

accessible interior components like trim, stairs and railings. The inspector shall access crawlspaces, attics and areas where

interior foundation components can be inspected. The garage will be inspected along with HVAC, plumbing and electrical

systems original to the home like sub-panels, water heaters and FAU's located in the garage.
