The Expanding Role & Importance of a Home Inspection

Many people hire a home inspector when purchasing a new home, but home inspections can serve other purposes, as well. Learn why and when to hire a home inspector, what to look for in an inspection company (and inspector), what to discuss with the inspector when finalizing the contract, and what to expect from a home inspection. Learn more about radon (the leading environmental cause of lung cancer), mold, wood destroying insects, and other related topics.
