Comments from our editors:
With its wealth of no-nonsense advice, Inspecting a House is an indispensible reference for home inspectors and sellers who want to understand what an inspector looks for, for homebuyers and for realtors.

In this comprehensive, heavily illustrated guide, master plumber, electrician, builder and home inspector Rex Cauldwell presents a logical sequence of inspection so that nothing gets missed. Cauldwell tells how to look for less obvious, but serious house problems such as an overloaded electrical panel, drainage problems, and improperly vented furnaces.

Cauldwell explains how to create a methodical system of inspection; evaluate heating, electrical and plumbing systems; check for cross-connections that can contaminate a water supply; ensure safety on the job; and inspect roofs, gutters, flashing and more.
