Description: Understanding what's NOT included in a home inspection is just as important as knowing what is. This episode explores the critical limitations and exclusions that define the boundaries of professional home inspection services. Learn why home inspections are "not technically exhaustive," the significance of concealed and latent deficiencies, and what it means for an area to be "readily accessible." We discuss the difference between reportable deficiencies and cosmetic issues, and why clear communication about these limitations protects both clients and inspectors. This essential knowledge helps manage expectations and establishes appropriate professional boundaries in every inspection.
