What Is an Interior Inspection?

An interior inspection evaluates the home’s accessible living spaces and the visible components within them. I inspect walls, ceilings, floors, windows, interior doors, stairs, handrails, guardrails, cabinets, countertops, closets, wet bars, and other accessible interior features throughout the home. Living rooms, family rooms, great rooms, bonus rooms, theaters, game rooms, dens, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, kitchenettes, and similar habitable spaces all form part of the interior inspection.

During the inspection, I look for damage, leaks, abnormal conditions, and other visible irregularities that may affect the home’s condition or performance. I also use thermal imaging and moisture meters when appropriate to help identify temperature anomalies and elevated moisture that may indicate concealed problems. The inspection remains non-invasive and reflects the home’s condition at the time I inspect it.
