Is it Home Inspection the same as Code Inspection?


A Home Inspection is not the same as a Code Inspection.Code inspectors work for municipalities, and concentrate strictly on enforcing the local codes.A code inspectors determines how your home and property stuck up against code and regulations, while a Home Inspectors make his or her evaluation based on accepted standards of practice-minimum,uniform standards for Home Inspections, established by organizations such as CAHPI( Canadian association of home and property inspectors),or industry publications.

For example, a code inspector might worry about your pool being too close to your property line, if it present a possible violation of local ordinances.That wouldn't be a big concern to a home inspector,trough ,unless it somehow presented a major safety hazard.Also, in many areas, a home built prior to the existence of a specific code may be"grandfathered ' if it does not meet the standards of that code.A home inspector evaluates a home according to current safety standards and practices.
When the inspection is completed,you will receive an inspection report.Some firms provide instant immediately after inspection.Other send their report for 24h by email.
