The Short Answer

One visit, every major system, one clear report.

A 120-point home inspection is a visual, non-invasive evaluation of everything that makes a house safe and livable. In a single 2–3 hour visit we work the home from the roof down to the basement floor drain, documenting each system with photos so nothing rests on memory.

The detail matters most on Hutchinson's older housing stock near downtown and the Crow River, where original wiring, galvanized supply lines, and basements stressed by freeze-thaw cycles all hide in plain sight. Below is exactly what each section of the report covers.

What's Not Included

The honest limits — and how we cover them.

A standard inspection is visual, so anything sealed, buried, or behind finished surfaces falls outside it. That's not a gap to gloss over — it's where add-on testing earns its keep.

For Hutchinson buyers that usually means a camera sewer scope on older clay laterals, a radon test in our high-radon county, mold sampling after basement moisture, and thermal imaging to find hidden moisture and missing insulation. All of them bundle onto the same visit.

FAQ

Common questions about coverage.

What systems are included in a standard home inspection?
A standard 120-point inspection covers the roof and exterior, structure and foundation, electrical service and wiring, plumbing supply and drains, the heating and cooling systems, the attic, insulation and ventilation, the interior, and built-in appliances. Each is documented with photos and a plain-language severity note in your 24-hour report.
What is NOT included in a home inspection?
A standard inspection is visual and non-invasive, so it does not cover things hidden behind walls, inside sealed systems, or below ground. Radon, the sewer line, mold, and well or septic systems are specialty tests we offer as add-ons because they require dedicated equipment and lab work.
Does the inspection check appliances?
Yes. Built-in appliances that convey with the sale — the range, dishwasher, built-in microwave, and disposal — are operated using their normal controls to confirm basic function. Portable appliances and items the seller is taking are not part of the inspection.
Will the report tell me what to fix first?
Yes. Every finding is prioritized so you can tell a safety concern or major repair from routine maintenance at a glance. That makes the report easy to hand to your agent for negotiation.
Can I add radon or a sewer scope to the inspection?
Absolutely. Radon testing, a camera sewer scope, mold sampling, and thermal imaging are popular add-ons in Hutchinson and bundle easily with the standard inspection on a single visit. The instant quote tool lets you add them as you book.
