I often hear or read questions that saysomethinglike“Can’t I do my own home inspection?” Or “My uncle is an electrician. Can’t I have him do my home inspection?” Home Inspectors are trained to know and understand building codes and standards. They understand safety standards and know what to look for when it comes to safety. An experienced home inspector will have performed thousands of inspections, and will have learned where to look and what to look for in order to find those serious, but hard-to-find problems with a home.
