A home is the biggest purchase most people will ever make, and a home inspection is always recommended before buying a home. It’s important to realize the condition of your investment. While some little quirks may be nothing to worry about, there may be more serious issues that only a professional home inspector can assess.
It’s important to have a home inspection prior to buying a home, or sometimes before even making an offer. Without a comprehensive home inspection, you could end up paying thousands of dollars in repairs, or buying a house that is unsafe due to water damage, foundation issues, or even asbestos and lead. It’s important to hire a professional home inspector to check out your potential new home.
A certified home inspection should cover the foundation, lot, roof, exterior, attic, interior, basement, electrical, plumbing, appliances, and the heating/cooling system.

This infographic takes a house apart piece-by-piece to explain in detail what a home inspection involves. The central illustration and how it's broken down over the course of the infographic brings visual unity to the infographic as a whole, and does strong work visually communicating the topic at every turn. Text is kept to a minimum, limited to listing the specific elements of each part of a house that will be inspected. Overall, we'd give this infographic an A!
