How long does it take to inspect a house?

The size, age, and condition of your home, as well as the weather at the time of the inspection, will all affect how long the inspection takes. The expertise of the home inspector, the number of systems in the house, and the type of foundation are other considerations.

Housing Size:

Typically, an inspection of a 1,500–2,000 square foot home takes two hours. For every additional 500 square feet, add another 30 minutes.

Housing Situation:

Better-maintained homes have fewer problems for the inspector to assess and note. On the other hand, the inspection will take longer if the house is in worse shape.

Home’s Age:

Homes over 75 years old tend to have more unusual systems and parts. Older properties should take around an hour longer to inspect than modern constructions.

Weather Conditions:

At some point throughout the inspection, if your home inspector is performing their job properly, they will be scaling the roof. If it’s raining, snowing, or extremely windy, this gets more harder—or even impossible. A delay in the inspection or the need for the inspector to return and complete the task at a later time may result from unfavorable weather circumstances.

How many systems are in the home?

Each and every system in the house, including the plumbing, electrical, heating, and cooling systems, will be examined by your home inspector. The examination will take longer if the house is connected to a gas, propane, or HVAC system.

Foundation Type

Because the inspector must also investigate basements and crawl spaces, these homes often take 30 to 60 minutes longer to inspect.

You should anticipate receiving your inspection report between 24 and 48 hours after the inspection is finished. Some inspectors can even deliver the report right away on the spot.

The size, age, and condition of your home, as well as the weather at the time of the examination, will all affect how long the home inspection takes.

  Top Issues a Home Inspector Checks For When it comes to a home’s performance and safety, the home inspectors we spoke with all agreed on a select few factors. Foundation The workhorse of a house is its foundation. It must sustain the house’s skeletal construction (drywall up to the roof, frame), possessions, and most significantly, its residents. Due to the high expense of repairs, foundation problems frequently prevent buyers from purchasing a property. Inspectors’ Criteria Typically, inspectors will walk around the outside of the house to check for slopes, cracks, and settlement issues. If there is a crawl space, it will be thoroughly inspected for water damage, mold, and warping that can compromise the strength of the wood supports.
