Your home inspection does not include:

A home inspection does not include protection against future failures. Components such as air conditioners and heating systems can and will fail. A home inspection tells you the condition of the component at the time the component was inspected. For protection against failure you may want to purchase a home warranty.
A home inspection is not an appraisal that determines the value of a home. Nor will a home inspector tell you if you should buy this home or what to pay for it.
A home inspection is not a code inspection, which verifies local building code compliance. A home inspector will not pass or fail a structure. Structures built before code revisions are not obligated to comply with the code for homes built today. Home inspector's will report findings when it comes to safety concerns that may be in the current code, such as ungrounded outlets above sinks. A home inspector thinks "safety" not "code" when performing a home inspection.
The "code of ethics" of the California Real Estate inspector's association (CREIA) prohibits it's members from doing repair work on properties they inspect. This assures that there will never be any conflict of interest by the inspector. Our purpose is to provide an unbiased, objective third party report on the condition of the structure.
