You can be assured that we follow the Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics set forth by the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, also known as InterNACHI. You can read the Standards of Practice here. 

As part of your home inspection, we do everything possible to give you the most thorough and complete inspection and report. However, the inspection does have some limitations. The list below is a partial list, of the most common items that we encounter. We encourage you to read your full inspection agreement and standards of practice before your inspection. 

Partial List of Items Not Included:

• Building Codes Violations - Because homes may have modifications over the years, it's not possible to determine if the modification was done "to code" at the time it was built. Building codes change regularly, even from the codes that the house was built originally to. We do inspect industry construction and safety standards and will point out any defect that may require further attention.
• Structural or Geological Analysis
• Asbestos, Mold, Radon, Lead, Formaldehyde - Determining if building products have any of these environmental concerns can only be done in a laboratory. However, if we find something that is known to contain asbestos or we see visible apparent mold, we will document it and recommend further testing. 
• Furniture and Appliances - Due to furniture and appliances, sometimes we cannot see under or behind either. During our inspection, we do not move furniture or appliances.
• Free-Standing Appliances - This includes any appliance that is not built into the house, like stoves, refrigerators, washing machines, and dryers.
