Worried about costly surprises after buying a house? Home inspector Dylan Linnenkamp joins us to share real-life stories of hidden problems he's discovered, from leaky showers to faulty electrical panels. Learn why inspections are vital, even on new builds, and how they can save you thousands. Plus, get tips on choosing a reputable inspector and understanding those complex reports.
Takeaways
A home inspection is a visual non-invasive inspection of the major systems of a house to ensure they are functioning properly and to identify any potential issues.
Home inspections provide buyers with a better understanding of the condition of the property and can be used as a bargaining tool during negotiations.
Infrared cameras and other tools are used in inspections to detect hidden issues that may not be visible to the naked eye.
It is important to choose a reputable home inspector who is a member of organizations like CREA and has positive reviews.
Homeowners can benefit from home maintenance inspections to assess the condition of their property and address any potential issues.
