Home inspection?
Just wondering what the major issues are that we should be checking out on a house that we are thinking about purchasing. Home inspection list would be helpful! Thanks!

Cracks or indications of retaining wall failure? Signs of inadequate surface drainage? Openings into the building at trim, flashings, chimneys, etc.? Signs of soil movement in areas around perimeter of the home? Basement Are all accessible areas dry? Are there any indications of current or prior water damage?

Is there adequate heat/cooling distribution to each room? Are there large differences in temperature between different rooms? Fireplace Safety check on older fireplaces and chimneys? Dampers operational? Fire boxes need repair? Spark arrestor and rain cap installed? Further, I would visit the house on a rainy day of you can. Look for water puddles on the lot, any drainage concerns, and see if you can get in the attic as well. Look for any truss or sheathing discoloration - anything black is not good - that is an indicator of mold. Good luck!
