Are there any specific things that home inspectors cannot check?
Mostly this comes down to what our insurance will cover and the state we’re in. If we stick our neck out too far to be helpful, we could land ourselves in a lot of trouble.
The systems that aren’t covered in Nevada’s Home Inspection requirements are:
Mold
Alarm Systems
Sound Systems
Landscape Irrigation Systems
Water Softeners
Mold is such a high liability that every inspector excludes it on paper. The reality is that we’ll try our best to find it for you.
Alarm, Sound and Landscape irrigation systems are excluded because they fall in the realm of Low Voltage. Low Voltage systems are finicky and the technology changes too much. They’re also considered “nice-to-haves” and not “must-haves” for homes.
Water Softeners are excluded because they vary too much between models and aren’t really regulated.
It’s never fun saying we can’t inspect everything during our inspection, but we know that our clients value transparency.
