What Is Included in a Residential Inspection?

A residential inspection is a visual and non-invasive evaluation of a home’s structure and major components. The inspector reviews accessible areas of the property and documents visible defects, safety concerns, maintenance items, and conditions that may need further evaluation.

At CHC, we provide:



• A comprehensive visual evaluation
• Clear documentation with photos
• Honest, unbiased reporting
• Fast report delivery
• Access to complimentary repair estimates

What Our Residential Inspections Include

Our residential inspections include a detailed review of the home’s major systems and accessible areas. Each part of the inspection is designed to help you better understand the property’s condition before making important decisions.

Foundation and Structural Areas

We review visible foundation areas, framing, crawl spaces, basements, and accessible support components. The goal is to identify signs of movement, moisture concerns, settlement, or visible structural issues.

Roofing and Attic Areas

Our inspectors evaluate roofing materials, flashing, gutters, drainage, and visible attic conditions. These areas are important because roof concerns can lead to leaks, moisture damage, and interior problems if left unaddressed.

Exterior Components

We inspect siding, windows, doors, decks, porches, driveways, walkways, and grading around the property. Exterior conditions can affect drainage, safety, and long-term protection from weather.

Electrical System

The inspection includes visible electrical panels, breakers, outlets, switches, wiring, and safety devices. We look for visible hazards, outdated components, and conditions that may require further evaluation.

Plumbing System

We review plumbing fixtures, supply lines, drain lines, water heaters, and visible leaks. This helps identify water-related concerns that could affect comfort, safety, or future maintenance.

Heating and Cooling Systems

We inspect heating, cooling, thermostats, and visible ductwork. The goal is to evaluate basic system operation and identify visible concerns related to performance or condition.

Interior Living Areas

Our residential inspection includes interior walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, stairs, railings, and ventilation. Interior findings can reveal signs of moisture, movement, wear, or safety concerns.

Why a General Home Inspection Matters

A general home inspection helps you understand the property before making a major decision. No home is perfect, including newly built homes. The value of an inspection comes from knowing what issues exist, how serious they may be, and what steps may be needed next.

For buyers, a general home inspection can help identify concerns before closing. For sellers, it can reveal issues before the home goes on the market. For current homeowners, it can help plan repairs, maintenance, and future improvements.

The CHC Home Inspection Difference

CHC Home Inspection is built around clear communication, reliable reporting, and client care. We do more than point out problems. We help you understand what the findings mean.

Clients choose CHC because we provide:

• Thorough visual evaluations of major home systems
• Clear digital reports with photos and written explanations
• Honest, unbiased reporting
• Fast report delivery, typically within 24 hours
• Friendly communication before, during, and after the inspection
• Complimentary repair estimates on up to 5 items through our contractor partnership

Our repair estimate benefit helps reduce guesswork. If your report includes repair concerns, you may request estimates for up to five items. This can help buyers negotiate, sellers plan ahead, and homeowners better understand possible next steps.

Who Should Schedule Residential Inspections?

Residential inspections are helpful in many situations, not only during a purchase.

Home buyers use inspections to understand what they are buying before closing. Sellers use them to prepare for the market and reduce last-minute surprises. New-construction buyers schedule inspections to check for incomplete work, installation issues, or visible defects before taking ownership.

Investors use property condition information to make smarter financial decisions. Current homeowners may schedule an inspection to evaluate maintenance needs, plan renovations, or gain peace of mind after years of ownership.

Why Inspections Matter in Kentucky

Kentucky homes experience:

• Seasonal temperature swings
• High humidity
• Heavy rainfall
• Soil movement
• Freeze-thaw cycles

These conditions can impact foundations, crawl spaces, roofing systems, and drainage. Our local experience helps us identify region-specific concerns that out-of-state inspectors might miss
