A Brief Explanation Of House Systems

Any house is a complicated structure of systems that work together to make a comfortable home.  In the links above, we've separated the major systems that make up a typical house.  Following the links will give you a better understanding of how a house is constructed and the functions of each system within the whole.  Having a better understanding of these aspects of a house will give you insight on exactly what your inspector will be looking at during the inspection process.  You'll also have a better understanding of the property you're considering when you attend the inspection and review the inspection report.

We Encourage You To Be ProActive

Understanding your home is important and gives you several advantages as a home owner.
You will:
  • Have more confidence when interviewing a contractor for repairs.
  • Be less likely to be over-sold by a contractor when repairs are suggested or quoted.
  • Have a better understanding of how each system affects other systems.
  • Be more likely to notice problems in their infant stages, before they become a serious problem.
  • Have a better grasp on what repairs are feasible for the do-it-yourself option.
  • Understand the difference in the more permanent systems, and those systems that need maintenance on a regular basis.
So, learn as much as you can about your home.  You'll save money in the long run just by educating yourself on basic house knowledge.  And remember, The Inspector Guys are always here to provide an unbiased viewpoint on any repairs or remodeling you may be considering.  We can inspect your home during and after a remodeling project to make sure the work is done correctly.
