Visual-Only Inspection

Imagine a home inspector with both hands tied behind the inspector's back.

According to the Home Inspection Standards of Practice, a home inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of a house, performed for a fee, which is designed to identify observed material defects within specific components of that house.

The home inspector is essentially restricted in this way while performing a visual-only inspection, which is not invasive or technically exhaustive.
