What Happens During a Home Inspection?

If you've never purchased a home before, you may be wondering what actually happens during a home inspection. Understanding the inspection process can help you feel more prepared and confident before one of the biggest investments of your life.

At Cherokee Home Inspection LLC, we guide our clients through every step of the inspection process, providing clear communication, detailed reports, and professional service throughout Northeast Arkansas and South Central Missouri.

Before the Inspection

Before the inspection begins, we gather information about the property, review any requested services, and prepare the specialized equipment needed for the inspection.

Depending on the property, additional services may include:

• Radon testing

• Sewer scope inspections

• Septic dye testing

• Thermal imaging

• Manufactured home inspections

• HUD Foundation Certification inspections

During the Inspection

The inspection is a visual evaluation of the home's major systems and components, including:

• Roof

• Exterior

• Foundation

• Structural components

• Electrical system

• Plumbing system

• Heating and cooling equipment

• Attic

• Crawlspace

• Interior rooms

• Windows and doors

• Built-in appliances

• Garage

• Decks and porches

We carefully document visible defects, maintenance concerns, and safety issues using photographs and detailed notes.

After the Inspection

Following the inspection, you'll receive a comprehensive digital report with photographs and easy-to-understand explanations.

If you have questions after reviewing the report, we're available to explain our findings and help you better understand the home's condition.

Should Buyers Attend?

Whenever possible, we encourage buyers to attend the final portion of the inspection. This provides an opportunity to ask questions, review significant findings, and become familiar with the home's systems and maintenance needs.
