🏠 What Every Homeowner Should Know Before a Home Inspection

Whether you're buying your first home or preparing to sell, a professional home inspection is one of the most important steps in the process. At Walker Home Inspections, we believe that informed clients make better decisions — and safer homes. Here’s what you need to know before your inspection begins.

🔍 What Is a Home Inspection?

A home inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of a property’s visible and accessible systems and components. We assess everything from the roof to the foundation, including:

  • Structural integrity

  • Electrical and plumbing systems

  • HVAC performance

  • Roof condition and attic ventilation

  • Moisture intrusion and mold risks

  • Safety hazards and code compliance

Our goal is to identify defects, educate clients, and provide clear, actionable insights — not just a checklist.

🧰 How to Prepare for Your Inspection

To ensure a smooth and thorough inspection, here are a few tips:

  • Clear access to the attic, crawl space, electrical panel, and HVAC units.

  • Provide documentation for recent repairs or upgrades.

  • Be present if possible — we walk you through findings in real time.

We also encourage questions. Your understanding is just as important as our findings.

📋 What You’ll Receive

After the inspection, you’ll get a detailed digital report with:

  • High-resolution photos

  • Clear narratives explaining each issue

  • Recommendations for next steps

  • A summary of major concerns

We don’t just identify problems — we help you understand them.
