Home inspection questions? We have answers.: Straightforward Answers From an Experienced Arizona Inspection Team
Buying, selling or maintaining a property can raise a lot of questions. Here are answers to some of the questions we hear most often at AZ Home Inspection Services.
About Your Inspection
What does a home inspection include?
Your AZHI inspector visually evaluates accessible major systems and components of the property, including exterior and structural components, roofing, electrical, plumbing, water heaters, heating and cooling, interiors, bathrooms, laundry, built-in appliances, attic, insulation and ventilation.
How long does a home inspection take?
Inspection time varies with the property’s size, age, type, features and condition. Larger, older or more complex properties may require additional time.
Should I attend my home inspection?
Clients are welcome to participate in the inspection process. Your inspector can explain significant findings and answer questions about observed conditions.
What isn’t included in a standard home inspection?
A home inspection is a visual evaluation of accessible conditions at the time of inspection. It is not technically exhaustive, destructive testing, a code-compliance inspection or a guarantee against future problems.
Do you inspect new construction?
Yes. AZ Home Inspection Services offers new-construction inspection services, including applicable construction-phase and builder-warranty inspection options.
Can AZHI inspect older, luxury or more complex homes?
Yes. Property age, size, design and features are considered when determining the appropriate inspection scope, time and quote.

What does the report look like?

Can I ask questions after the inspection?
Yes. AZHI’s service does not end when the report is delivered. Our team remains available when questions arise.
