Contact A Professional To Handle Your Inspection. For your protection home inspections are a wise decision for all home owners. A home cannot fail an inspection, while its components major deficiencies can. A home inspection provides you with an objective opinion as to the condition of the property at the time of the inspection. An inspector typically spends between two to four hours evaluating a home, and may recommend further evaluation if problems or symptoms are discovered.
