Home inspection myths we hear all the time
MYTH #1 The house is new-it doesn't need an inspection.
FACT: New construction doesn't guarantee quality. We frequently uncover issues like improper plumbing, poor roofing, or shortcuts taken during rushed builds.
MYTH #2 Home inspectors can see everything.
FACT: We inspect all visible and accessible areas, but we can't see behind walls or under floors. However, we flag any signs of hidden issues and recommend further evaluation when necessary.
MYTH #3 The inspector will tell me whether or not to buy the house.
FACT: Our role is to provide unbiased, detailed information-not make decisions. You'll get a full picture of the home's condition so you can decide based on your priorities and budget.
MYTH #4 If it looks good, it must be good.
FACT: Appearances can be deceiving. Cosmetic upgrades can mask deeper problems like faulty wiring, outdated plumbing, or structural damage.
MYTH #5 If the home passes inspection, it's perfect.
FACT: Home inspections aren't about passing or failing. We identify potential concerns so you can understand the risks, plan for repairs, or negotiate with confidence.
