A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a home, from roof to foundation by your home Inspector. The inspection is the equivalent of a physical examination from your doctor. When problems or symptoms of problems are found, Florida Pro Home Inspections may recommend further evaluation or remedies. A standard home inspection summarizes findings from a visual inspection of the condition of the subject home’s heating system, central air conditioning system (temperature permitting), interior plumbing and electrical systems; roof, attic, and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; foundation, basement, and the visible structures of the home.
