California is a place known for the Gold Rush of the 1840-50s. It was a time when life out in the American West was hard and grueling. Family members boarded bandwagons to trek across the hot desert in hopes of obtaining gold, wealth, and land. Unfortunately, many travelers lost their lives before arriving at their intended destination. For many, though, the benefits of land and wealth outweighed the risks of disease, sickness, and death. Some faced miscarriages and infant deaths—all to go out West and have a better life than they could currently afford.
Home inspectors in the state of California would love to find gold when they inspect your home. What they do not hope to find in a California home inspection is a serious insect or water issue that may cause you to evacuate your home.
A California home inspection is performed by a licensed and/or certified inspector in the state of California. There are many things that a home inspection must take into account. First, a California home inspection must take into account the intricate places in the home that have problems of any kind, whether water damage, termites, leaks, or loose steps that could cause someone to trip and fall outside your home, and so on. Next, a California home inspection must take into account the laws of the state of California. Home inspectors of the state itself must know the laws of the state. After all, if they are certified, they had to know state laws in order to achieve certification. If they do not know state laws, they will be held responsible for whatever good or bad advice they gave a homeowner about their home. Home inspectors can be just as responsible for faulty home advice as a doctor can be for providing the wrong medical advice (take more medicine than is needed, and so on).
Lastly, a California home inspection must take into account home codes. Not only must the inspector know state laws, he or she must also be able to pass those laws down to the people he or she meets. If the inspector does not stress the urgency of fixing the leaking roof or the insect infestation problem, then the state has a right to condemn the home because the problem was not solved within a set amount of time. You do not want a home inspection to make you homeless.
