Home Inspection – 5 Reasons You Should Say Yes To An Inspection
Posted by Honest Home Inspections NJ
Top Reasons Why Every New Jersey Homebuyer Needs a Home Inspection
What Is a Home Inspection?
A home inspection is a detailed visual examination of the physical structure and major systems of a home. This includes the roof, foundation, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical components. Our inspections are performed according to InterNACHI’s Standards of Practice, ensuring consistency and professionalism in every service.
Why Home Inspections Are Crucial in New Jersey
New Jersey homes come in all shapes and ages — from historic farmhouses to modern condos. Many properties in our region have basements prone to moisture, older oil tanks, aging roofs, and electrical issues. Without a licensed inspector, these hidden problems may go undetected until it’s too late.
Additionally, many lenders and insurance companies require a home inspection before approving a mortgage or policy. It’s not just a smart step — it’s a necessary one.
