Bowes Home Inspection LLC

Areas of Focus

During the inspection, all accessible major systems and components are evaluated within the following framework:

Is it safe?
Are there hazards that could harm occupants or damage property?
Is it working properly or functioning as intended?
Does the system or component operate as designed?
Is it broken or damaged?
Is there visible deterioration, improper installation, or other conditions affecting performance or reliability?

What a home inspector looks for

The purpose of a home inspection is to provide you, the buyer, with a professional, unbiased evaluation of the property’s condition at the time of inspection.

Our goal is to identify significant issues that may affect safety, functionality, or the integrity of the home’s systems and components. A home inspection is a limited visual evaluation, not a prediction

What the inspection includes

A general home inspection typically includes visual evaluation of:

Crawl spaces and basements
Built-in kitchen appliances
Structural components (foundation, framing, visible roof structure)
Roofing materials and drainage systems
Exterior walls, doors, windows, and trim
Interior walls, ceilings, floors, and stairways
Heating and cooling systems (HVAC)
Electrical system components (panels, outlets, visible wiring)
Plumbing supply and drain systems
Attic and visible insulation

A Home Inspector’s responsibility is to observe, identify, and report conditions that may impact safety, functionality, or integrity, and not to enforce codes or predict future failures.

My mission is to help you understand your potential new home as clearly as possible so you can make confident, well-informed decisions.
