It is a Smart Investment to Have a Home Inspection
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Sturat_Mitchel]Sturat Mitchel

Before buying a home it is a good idea to have a home inspection done. The home inspector should catch any major issues so you can have them repaired as a condition of buying the home. This makes sure your dream home does not come with some ugly surprises. It is about being knowledgeable about your investment.

It is also a good idea to have a yearly home inspection. This is to insure that there are no problems developing. As well as catching any issues early before they become major issues. Simple things like having the roof checked can catch a week spot. That area can be repaired before it becomes a larger area. You want to catch it before a hole develops that pests and water get into the home. Problems with pluming, structure, visible water damage, visible mold and other areas can often be caught early if you have the home inspected regularly.

Please note that a home inspector looking at a home as a yearly inspection or for a buyer is not the same as one inspecting work being done on the home. In this case the inspector is looking for any visible damage. They do not look for wiring issues, water damage in the walls or even mold. They are looking to make sure the home is generally sound and in good repair. Even so it is still a good idea to have the home inspected.

When having any structural work done on a home it is a good idea to have a home inspection. This is to insure the work is up to current code. The same goes with wiring and major plumbing. It is not just about being up to code but making sure the home is safe after any major renovations or construction. Having the home inspected will hopefully catch any problems before they become a danger. A home inspector is trained to make sure a home is up to code.
