Question 1

What does a home inspection include?

Accepted Answer

A home inspection includes an evaluation of your home's structure, systems, and safety—from the roof and foundation to plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. Each Bellwether inspection includes a digital report with annotated photos.

Question 2

Do I need a sewer scope or radon test?

Accepted Answer

Yes, both are highly recommended. Sewer scopes reveal hidden damage under the property, and radon testing detects an invisible gas linked to health risks. Bellwether offers discounted bundle pricing for both.

Question 3

How long does a home inspection take?

Most inspections take two to three hours depending on the size and condition of the home. Clients are encouraged to attend so we can walk through key findings together.
