Why Do I Need A Home Inspection?
There’s a lot more to know about the home you are about to purchase than location, location, location. Licensed Professional Engineers who specialize in pre-purchase home inspections will tell you that there is nothing more important than structural, structural, structural. If the home you are about to purchase does not have the structural integrity to give you peace of mind, you may be buying into a money pit and sleepless nights.

A home consists of many complex components including structural framing, physical components, electrical, plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems. Wow! I thought finding the home of my dreams was a job, how can I determine what’s under the cosmetics. Sure, the bathrooms and kitchen are good looking, the wallpaper is not my taste but I can take it down along with the paneling in the playroom, but what’s happening beneath the surface, is everything cool? This is exactly the reason why you need a competent home inspection engineer to assist you with the evaluation of the home’s major systems.
