1. . An inspector is familiar with the complex elements of home construction, understands how the home's systems are intended to function, as well as how and why they fail. Most importantly, the inspector is a disinterested third party that can be totally objective about the condition of the home.

9. WHAT IF THE REPORT REVEAL SOME PROBLEMS?

No house is perfect. If there are problems, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't buy the house. However, if there are major problems, you may want to go back to the seller to either get the problems corrected or to negotiate the contract price to reflect the inspector's findings.

10. CAN A HOUSE FAIL ITS INSPECTION?

No. A home inspection is not the same as a code inspection. While the inspector will be familiar with the local building codes, his or her objectives are to describe the physical condition of the house and indicate what may need repair or replacement.
