A general home inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of the accessible areas of a residential property (as delineated below), performed for a fee, which is designed to identify defects within specific systems and components defined by these Standards that are both observed and deemed material by the inspector. The scope of work may be modified by the Client and Inspector prior to the inspection process. The general home inspection is based on the observations made on the date of the inspection, and not a prediction of future conditions.

Many home buyers want to know as much as they can about the condition of the house they are buying. Many are anxious to learn about a roof problem or a broken AC, but few are aware of just how expensive a malfunctioning septic system could be. Many of the homes in our area are hooked up to city sewers, but those that are not have a significant portion of the home's value tied up underground. Septic systems operate by bacterial decomposition, and as such, can have several problems if proper maintenance has not been performed.

A Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) Inspection Report is a written report of an inspection on a home for visible and accessible evidence of an infestation or damage by wood destroying organisms. This typically refers to dry wood or subterranean termites, but will also cover wood destroying beetles and wood destroying fungi. In Florida, carpenter ants and carpenter bees are not typically reported. A WDO report can also be referred as a "Termite Inspection", Termite Letter ", or Clearance Letter ". A WDO inspection report is provided when a home or other structure is being sold and the mortgage lender or buyer requires the inspection as part of the transaction.
