This oversight has led many consumers to encounter costly and protracted nightmares.</p> <p>Home inspection is a relatively new profession, as compared with contracting, and is uniquely complex. Home inspectors must possess an intricate combination of disciplines, skills, and learning, of which general construction is only one part. In addition to common construction knowledge, an inspector must recognize and evaluate various patterns of deterioration and wear affecting building structures and mechanics, conditions that would not be familiar to persons who deal primarily with new structures.</p> <p>An inspector must also maintain an applied knowledge of building, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, and fire safety, typically more familiar to specialty tradesmen such as electricians, plumbers, roofers, heating contractors, etc. This knowledge cannot be confined to current building requirements only. An inspector deals with structures of all ages and must have a general idea of which standards were in effect when a particular home was built.</p> <p>Above all, an inspector must have an acutely honed and thoroughly practiced sense of observation, a skill that cannot be learned by any amount of construction experience. The capacity to identify subtle and elusive building defects is a unique craft in itself and can only be developed through years of focused practice. A home inspector is basically a professional investigator. It takes years of specialized training and experience for a contractor to attain competence in the skills that specifically pertain to home inspection.</p> <p>It is the consumer's responsibility to be an informed buyer. A home inspection gives the buyer an impartial, physical evaluation of the overall condition of the home and identifies items that may need to be repaired or replaced. The inspection report gives detailed information on the condition of the structural components, exterior, roofing, plumbing, electrical, heating, insulation and ventilation, air conditioning and interiors. A home inspection report may be the most valuable document a buyer can utilize when making a purchase decision.</p> <form method="POST"> <p> </p> <table border="0" width="100%" bgcolor="#800040"> <tr>
