This Inspection is performed according the guidelines recommended by the AMERICAN SOCIETY OF HOME INSPECTORS, INC. The Purpose of this inspection is to perform is visual and audible examinations of the primary structure, mechanical, and the electrical systems of the building, and give a personal opinion as o whether or not the components are performing the functions for which they were intended or are in need of repair.
