Structural Inspections are typically done to assure that either the building foundation system and/or the house framing system are structurally sound.
Home & Structural Inspections are typically done to assure that both the building and structural and major systems (Plumbing, Electrical & HVAC) are functioning correctly.
These inspections are often done at the request of the lender, prospective buyer, an appraiser, or a TREC inspector. In any case, there is usually some type of observed structural or cosmetic distress that triggers the inspection.
