Frequently Asked Questions
What is a home inspection?
A home inspection is a professional, non-invasive evaluation of a property's visible and accessible systems and components. At Steadfast Professional Inspections LLC, we inspect the roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, structure, attic, and more to help buyers, sellers, and homeowners understand the condition of a property before making important decisions.
How long does a home inspection take?
Most home inspections take between 2–4 hours, depending on the size, age, condition, and complexity of the home. Larger homes or properties with additional services may require more time.
Should I attend the home inspection?
Yes. While it's not required, we highly recommend attending the inspection. This gives you the opportunity to ask questions, see any concerns firsthand, and better understand the home's systems and maintenance needs.
What does a home inspection include?
A standard home inspection includes an evaluation of the roof, attic, insulation, foundation, structure, plumbing, electrical system, HVAC, interior, exterior, windows, doors, and other visible and accessible components. Additional services such as thermal imaging, irrigation inspections, and detached structures are also available.
What doesn't a home inspection cover?
Home inspections are visual, non-invasive evaluations and do not include destructive testing or concealed components behind walls, floors, or ceilings. Cosmetic issues, code compliance, and future performance are also outside the scope of a standard inspection unless otherwise specified.
How soon will I receive my inspection report?
We proudly provide 24-hour reports whenever possible. Your digital report includes detailed findings, high-quality photos, and clear recommendations to help you make informed decisions quickly.
Can a home fail an inspection?
No. A home inspection is not a pass-or-fail test. Its purpose is to identify the property's current condition, including safety concerns, maintenance items, and defects, so you can make an informed decision.
Why do I need a home inspection for a newly built home?
Even new construction can have defects, incomplete work, or installation issues. A New Construction Inspection helps identify concerns before closing or before your builder's warranty expires.
What is an 11-Month Warranty Inspection?
An 11-Month Warranty Inspection is performed before your builder's one-year warranty expires. It helps identify issues that may still be covered by the builder, potentially saving you significant repair costs.
What is Infrared Thermal Imaging?
Infrared Thermal Imaging uses advanced technology to detect hidden moisture intrusion, insulation deficiencies, air leaks, overheating electrical components, and other issues that may not be visible during a standard inspection.
