Frequently Asked Questions
Questions About Home Inspection Reports.
What does a sample home inspection report show?
A sample report shows how inspection findings are organized and communicated. It can include an inspection summary, property-system sections, observations, limitations and recommendations for repair, monitoring or further evaluation.
Is the sample report exactly what my report will look like?
No. Your inspection report will be specific to the property inspected, the services ordered, the conditions visible on the inspection date and any limitations encountered during the inspection.
Does a home inspection report give the property a pass or fail grade?
No. A professional home inspection describes observed property conditions rather than issuing a simple pass-or-fail grade.
Can I review the complete sample report?
Yes. This page provides access to the full Sample Home Inspection Report and the separate Sample Log Home Report currently published by My City Home Inspectors.
What kinds of systems can appear in the report?
Depending on the property and inspection scope, reports can address areas such as the interior, kitchen, heating and cooling systems, roof, grounds, crawlspace or basement, plumbing, electrical components, water heating and other visible systems and components.
What should I do after I receive my inspection report?
Read the complete report rather than relying only on the summary. Review significant findings, ask the inspector questions, and obtain specialist evaluation or repair estimates when the report recommends further action.
