An inspection is an examination carried out for a stated purpose and scope. It may involve observations, measurements or access to selected areas.
What this means at your property
A roof inspection, a moisture assessment and an electrical inspection answer different questions. A brief visual visit does not automatically include hidden cavities, structural analysis or testing of every building system.
How do I know what was actually inspected?
Ask the report to list locations examined, methods used, inaccessible areas and recommended follow-up. Before authorizing repairs, clarify whether the findings establish a cause or describe a condition that still needs investigation.
