Understanding the Scope of an Inspection

A home inspection is a visual evaluation of the accessible areas, systems, and components of the home. It reflects the conditions observed at the time of the inspection and has certain limitations and exclusions.

The goal is to help you better understand the home - not predict every future condition or uncover conditions that are concealed or inaccessible.

Ongoing education is an important part of the Clearscope approach. Dan continues to build his knowledge through professional training and certification programs covering major systems and components found throughout a home.
