Part 2 Home Inspections

The last sentence on part 1 caught my attention. I always understood home inspections in Texas to be an investigation of code violations in addition to other investigations of the improvements to the property.

These inspections can be overwhelming. I think I have listed areas to inspect on previous posts and I will possible be repeating myself. Here is a list of inspections;
1. general inspection from state licensed inspector
2. wood destroying
3. pool/spa "opinions"
4. septic (pumping then investigate)
From the above you can then proceed to another round;
1. pressure test of plumbing
2. structural engineer
3. mechanical (A/C & Heat)
4. electrical
5. roof
Finally you might end up getting bids on;
1. specific repairs of tile, new flooring, painting, windows, driveway/masonry, gutters, new light fixtures, new appliances, new counters, etc. etc..
