This Inspection Agreement is between the “Client” listed above and “The HOME Inspector LLC”.
The scope of this inspection is to report on the general condition of the visible portions of
the primary building(s) on the property and to inform the "Client" of substantial defects (cost over fifteen hundred
dollars to repair) as they exist on the date of the inspection. We, as inspectors, are not professional
estimators. It is up to you, the purchaser, to obtain quotes for the recommended repairs
(especially any that you are concerned may cost over $1500) during your contingency time-period. The inspection will
be performed in accordance with the Standards of Practice of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI®) and NYS guidelines. Copies of these standards will be
provided upon request.
The inspection is limited to a visual examination of the exposed and readily accessible surfaces
of the building(s). The inspection does not contemplate or involve the dismantling or
moving of any objects or portions of the premises. Under normal circumstances, it is possible that
a defect may be concealed (including but not limited to septic systems, in-wall and/or underground piping and electric wiring,
or deliberate concealment). Examples of objects not removed include insulation, siding, storage,
secured attic hatches, furniture, cabinets, and ceiling tiles. Roofs are not always observable due to pitch, orientation,
snow, ice, rain, or height (exceeding 1 ladder length -12 feet). For Safety, we do
not enter crawl spaces less than 36 inches in height. We do not inspect swimming
pools/hot tubs/Jacuzzi. The inspection does not cover chimney interiors, liners, or furnace/boiler
internals. If concerns exist about these issues, hire a chimney and/or furnace/boiler inspector now during
your contract contingency period. We do not test heating or cooling distribution of ducts or hot water pipe systems (boilers).
We do not test air conditioning units if the temperature is under 65 degrees (F). Mold may be present in
any visible and/or hidden areas where water stains or water damage has occurred.
We do not test for mold, lead paint, or asbestos. If you have concerns about mold,
asbestos, or lead paint, you should have testing and verification conducted by an approved EPA laboratory. For
any questions, contact the Environmental Protection Agency.
The inspection and report thereon are not a warranty, guarantee, or insurance policy of any kind (or a statement of insurability), or a substitute for any
disclosure statement required by law. This is not a code and regulation compliance inspection.
We can’t predict the life span of any components of your home. We give general life expectancies.
Realize that even young systems can fail. We do not inspect or guarantee any components for proper
installation compliance with its manufacturer or the codes.
Report Confidentiality: The inspection report is for the exclusive,
private use of the "Client". The "Client" will be issued one
copy of the inspection report. Distribution or resale of this report to other parties (other than the "Clients"
attorney and buyer’s agent, if any) relieves the "Inspector" of any responsibility for the contents of the
report.
