Buying a home? The process can be stressful. A home inspection is supposed to give you peace of mind, but can often have the opposite effect. You will be asked to absorb a lot of information in a short time. Most of your inspection will be maintenance recommendations, life expectancies and minor imperfections. However, the issues that really matter will fall into four categories:

1. Major defects. An example of this would be a structural failure.
2. Things that lead to major defects. A small roof-flashing leak, for example.
3. Things that may hinder your ability to finance, legally occupy or insure the home.
4. Safety hazards, such as an exposed, live buss bar at the electric panel.
