What Isn't Included in Your Home Inspection

How to Get a Thorough Home Inspection Home inspections are your last chance to find any concerns with your future property, and can also be a final opportunity to reconsider your offering price. Louisiana Title Services, Inc has put together a few items that likely aren't included in your inspection.  Plumbing and General Pipe ConditionJust visually inspecting the plumbing can give you a good indication into its condition, but a thorough inspection can tell you a lot more about the expected lifespan of the existing plumbing. Internal and External Components One of your potential property's selling points may be its water heating and irrigation system, however this isn't something your inspector is likely to look at in too much detail. Be sure that any additions are listed with your inspector for inclusion in their report. Home Appliances Older homes that have been renovated are likely to include updated kitchenware and appliances. Additionally, any air conditioning units that were either built with the house or installed as a renovation should be checked. If you want your inspector to consider these in their review, speak with them first. AtticWhat's the one place that nobody wants to go? That includes your inspector. While they may have a brief check, be sure they will investigate any potential leaks or hard to find weather damage that could cause you trouble further on.

Melancon/Rimes are not only my attorney's but now my friends! They walked me the entire way through my case and never settled for less than what I was deserved. They fought for me the entire way through and talked to me at night and weekends to make sure that I was okay and feeling well. I would never ever use anything but the best-and they are beyond the best in my book! Hats off to Robert and his staff. Mekel LeBoeuf Baton Rouge, Louisiana ...read more
