The limited visible (or patent) home inspection would include locating typical safety concerns and observable defects and features of the existing house. The inspection is meant to be non-invasive and non-destructive. Thus the home inspector will not be lifting, moving or transferring items from their original positions. The inspector will only access and test features of systems in their normal use. There will be no engineering measurements, calibrations, or testing of all the features of any appliance or system.
