That is why home inspections have become such an important pail of the transaction in most parts of the country. Professional home inspectors provide an expert opinion regaiding the condition of homes major s stems and components before the purchase is made so that consumers can plan and budget for specific major repairs in advance. First time home buyers can also expect to receive a valuable education from their inspector Since most people moving into their first house are unfamiliar with the routines and procedures of home maintenance, the home inspection provides an excellent ity to learn how a house works, where its various systems are located, and how to live comfortably in a new home. This is the main reason buyers should accompany their inspector on the inspection itself, according to the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), the leading international professional association for independent home inspectors Among the important things to learn, say the ASHI experts, are the locations of the gas and water lines. In the event of an emergency, or if there is remodeling to be done, it is essential to know where these ut i ity ines enter the house and how to shut them off. It is equally critical to know the location of the electric and heat emergency switches. First time home owners also need to get a basic understanding of the electrical wiring of the new home, and its capacity. A home inspector can explain the operations of the fuses or circuit breakers, and evaluate whether the existing wiring is adequate to carry the homes electrical load. In addition, a private home contains many major components not found in apartments, and which might intimidate the first time home owner. These may include the central air condition- I I Itisimportantforfirst-timehomebuyerstolearnabouttheinn- er workings of their new home. Home inspectors who adhere to the ASHI Standards of Practice will reportvisible signs of water penetration or of harmful condensation, on building surfaces such as the roof sheathing, interior walls, ceilings, and floors. ing andor heating systems, a water heater, attic fans, humidifiers, and property drainage systems. Even though many people call in professional tradesmen to handle major repairs, some knowledge of these components is necessary for routine maintenance and troubleshooting, and for competently discussing repair work with contractors. In several areas of the country, wet basements or cellars are a chronic and serious problem. By attendingthe home inspection, a buyer can learn and discuss the I ikely causes of water penetration as well as the best methods for solving the problem. Home buyers must also remember to have their prospective purchase inspected even if it is brand new. Due to the high cost of labor and material, some builders may use shortcuts and inferior products, which can lead to problems later on. Of course, a trip with the inspector is designed to illustrate the positive aspects of a home as well as the negative. There may be some features - such as a crack in the basement wall - which e home buyer might scare the -- -- first-tim- into turning down an otherwise satisfactory home. By voicing concerns to the inspector personally, the buyei may learn that such fears are unwarranted. Cracks, for example, are often simply the result of shrinkage or minor settlement. An education, however, is only as good as the teacher who provides it, and so the American Soc iety of I lome Inspectors cautions buyers to be selective in their search for a home inspector. ASHI is recognized by professional and government groups as the leading association for home inspectors, setting professional and technical standards throughout the U.S. andd Canada. Members of ASH I are professional inspectors who have passed demanding technical exams and met experience requirements. They are committed to following the organizations strict Code of Ethics which forbids conflict of interest activities. Buyers may contact ASHI at 85 West Algonquin Road, Suite 360, Arlington Heights, IL 60005-442for the names l,( of the ASHI members nearest them. 3, 1 |
