It\u2019s important for a knowledgeable professional to examine the property to ensure there aren\u2019t serious issues with the foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical, and everything else that makes up the \u201cbones\u201d of the home.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you have educated yourself on what is included in a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/what-you-should-know-complete-home-inspection-checklist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">comprehensive home inspection<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, it\u2019s important to know what isn\u2019t included. These seven things typically aren\u2019t part of an inspection but are important things to know about and, possibly hire another professional to look over for added peace of mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1. Termite &amp; Pest Inspection<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While this sounds like something that should be part of your typical home inspection, it\u2019s surprisingly not. An inspector will be able to spot some <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/what-contingencies-should-i-put-in-my-offer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">termite or pest<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> damage if it\u2019s obvious, but if you want your home properly inspected for pests or termites, you have to hire a separate licensed termite inspector.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Detecting termites early on can save you years of expensive and sometimes irreparable damage. A termite inspector will provide you with a report listing any damage or infestations. Preventative measures to protect your home from future infestations or strategies for mitigating current ones can be discussed between you and the seller as a result of the pest inspection.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2. Code Compliance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A home inspection isn\u2019t a code inspection\u2014an inspector can\u2019t \u201cpass\u201d or \u201cfail\u201d a home for having upgrades or existing structures that aren\u2019t compliant with code revisions. For example, if the home you\u2019re looking at has a railing that was built before a new code was implemented that now makes it too short, your home inspector isn\u2019t required to alert you of it.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, a home inspector will always have safety in mind, so they should let you know if they see something potentially dangerous or outdated in the current build.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3. Pools &amp; Hot Tubs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Buying a property with a pool can create hours of summer fun for you and your family, and increase the value of your home. But maintenance can get pricey pretty quickly\u2014especially if you don\u2019t get it looked at before any invisible problems worsen.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hiring a certified pool builder from a reputable company can ensure your pool is in good condition since they\u2019re familiar with the complicated parts and equipment, such as pumps, heaters, and filters. Testing the plumbing for possible leaks is also something your pool inspector should do.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4. Mold Inspection<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-49417\" src=\"https:\/\/movoto.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/blog-home-inspection-tips.jpg\" alt=\"7 Important Things That Aren\u2019t Included in a Home Inspection - Movoto Real Estate\" width=\"769\" height=\"359\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re buying a home somewhere humid, you\u2019ll want to hire a mold inspector. Mold spores can aggravate allergies, asthma, and some types are carcinogenic. In addition, mold can do serious damage to your walls and structural beams.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A mold inspector will do both a visual inspection for mold and send the spores to a lab for testing. If you find mold, you\u2019ll need to hire a professional to remediate the issue. Mold can lead to some significant issues, so it could make or break your sale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">5. Asbestos, Lead, and Radon Screening<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While it\u2019s less common now, you still need to think about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/when-did-they-stop-using-asbestos-and-why\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">asbestos<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and lead, especially if you\u2019re buying an older house. Hiring someone to make sure there is no asbestos or lead in your walls or paint is important, particularly for people with small children and pets. Prolonged asbestos exposure can inflame your lungs while lead poisoning can cause kidney and brain damage.<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/buying-cheap-vs-safety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Radon<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is a colorless, odorless gas that is released from soil and groundwater. It leaches into a home through cracks in the walls and foundation, where it can build up to dangerous concentrations. Radon has been shown to cause lung cancer after prolonged exposure. If radon levels are above the EPA-recommended threshold of 4 pCi\/L, you should install a radon mitigation system or upgrade the existing system. Your inspector can do radon detection as an add-on service or you can buy your own testing kit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">6. Detached Structure Inspection<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A home inspection is typically just that\u2014a home inspection. If there\u2019s a shed, detached <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/pimp-my-garage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">garage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, or any recreational equipment (like a playground) on the property, chances are they won\u2019t be looked at in your average complete inspection.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many companies will inspect detached structures for an added fee depending on the size of the structures and the time it takes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">7. Home Security<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although your home inspector will inspect the locks on the main doors and windows, they won\u2019t do a thorough inspection of the property\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/ninja\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">security<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> system. You can hire a separate security professional (or sometimes even someone from your local police department) to come in and look at potential problem areas and vulnerabilities, like doors, windows, separate entryways, garage, trees near your home, and outdoor lighting.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting a home inspection is a critical part of buying a home.
