Home Inspection
A proper home inspection is conducted following a nationally recognized Standard of Practice. JL Inspection Services, LLC adheres to the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics.
The purpose of a home inspection is to provide accurate, knowledgeable, and honest information to the buyer, seller, or home owner as to the condition of the home's systems and components at the time of the inspection.
A home inspection is limited to the readily accessible areas, systems, and components of a home and is limited to visual observations. Systems or components are only inspected by removing normal, readily accessible inspection panels that are designed for accessing certain areas of the system. Systems or components that are hidden by furniture, floor coverings, walls, or any other objects that obstruct the view are not inspected.
Systems or components will be operated only by normal operating controls for that system or component. If a system or component is shutdown, such as electrical power is shutoff or a valve is closed, the system will not be energized by the inspector to determine if the system operates using normal operating controls. It is very important that all utilities are turned on to the home and all individual breakers, valves, etc. are in the ON position. Access to attics, crawl spaces, electrical panels, utility/mechanical rooms must be readily accessible.
A home inspection is based on a visual observation of the building's condition on the day of the inspection. A home inspection cannot identify latent or concealed details that may exist, and does not warranty or guarantee the home, it's systems or components. A home inspector cannot render an opinion as to the structural integrity of the building or it's component parts, nor can a home inspection eliminate risks involved with purchasing a home.
A professional home inspector adheres to a Code of Ethics established by the various Home Inspector organizations such as ASHI or InterNACHI, to prevent conflicts of interest and to conduct inspections in an ethical manner.
Many states regulate home inspectors, however, Wyoming has no regulation, which enables anyone to claim to be a home inspector. Be careful when hiring an inspector. Ask appropriate questions so you feel confident and comfortable with your inspector. Request to be present during the inspection. A professional, reputable inspector will encourage you to participate in the inspection.
A complete and proper home inspection requires 3 hours or more and encompasses twelve major systems and the components within each system.
