The home inspectors’ job is to provide the perspective home buyer enough information to make an informed decision regarding the purchase of a particular home. The home inspector provides a generalistic non destructive, inspection of accessible components of a home. Lists of all discovered deficiencies found during a home inspection are included in the inspection report.  A home inspector will determine if a component is functioning as originally intended and will generally attempt to determine if the component is at or near the end of its typical life expectancy.  A home inspector will never find all deficiencies in a home.  Due to this, no warranty or guarantee is included or implied with a home inspection.

The term “damages”, whether real or perceived is very vague and could leave the home inspector liable and open to law suits for almost, if not every aspect of a home inspection.  In an industry fraught with law suits, many frivolous, the home inspector needs some means of protection.
