What to Expect at Your Inspection
A home inspection is a practical, visual evaluation of the home’s readily accessible systems and components. You’ll receive clear findings and context to help you make informed next steps.
Before the inspection
Confirm that utilities are on and that all areas of the home are accessible. For Pittsburgh homes, that can include basement utility spaces, attics, garages, exterior drainage areas and any accessible retaining walls.
During the inspection
You’re welcome to attend and ask questions. The inspection is an opportunity to learn how the home works, where routine maintenance matters, and which visible conditions may need further evaluation.
After the inspection
Your report will organize findings into clear, practical observations. Use it with your agent and the appropriate specialists to prioritize safety concerns, significant repairs and ongoing maintenance.
