A home inspection in Vermont is based on Standards of Practice (SOP) that were written by a professional home inspector association.  The SOP is designed to be a baseline that all inspectors must follow and it helps to identify any function or safety defects that may be present in the property.  It is important to know that this service provides a limited visual inspection at a given point in time.  Therefore, it is not a technically exhaustive inspection.  That level of inspection would take much longer and would be too expensive for most home buyers to consider.  The SOP includes these general categories:
  • Exterior yard & site components
  • Exterior building shell components 
  • Roof systems & components 
  • Chimneys & other roof penetrations.
  • Structural systems & components 
  • Plumbing systems & components 
  • Electrical systems & components
  • Heating systems & components
  • Air conditioning systems & components
  • Insulation & ventilation systems
  • Interiors (walls ceilings, stairs, cabinets & countertops, doors & windows)
  • Fireplaces & woodstoves
All of the notes and photos are compiled in a detailed written report that is delivered via email to you, the client.  
The complete SOP is much more detailed and is available for download at the link below.  We have also included a link to a sample report from one of our recent inspections to give you an idea how much is covered.
