Why Inspections Actually Matter

• 20–25% of homes show evidence of active or prior moisture intrusion during inspection.

• Electrical failures cause 51,000+ residential fires per year, accounting for roughly 13% of home structure fires.

• Inspection findings allow for planning, negotiation, or corrective action — without an inspection, issues surface only after failure.

• Inspections cost hundreds: whereas, deferred or emergency repairs cost thousands to tens-of-thousands.

• Over 70% of major repair costs occur within the first 24 months when properties are acquired without a professional inspection.

The cost of an inspection is predictable.

The cost of skipping one isn’t.
