A general home inspection by HomeRite Real Estate Inspections is an
independent, unbiased review and report on a home's systems, components and their
condition. Consumers and real estate professionals should expect no less than full
professionalism, education, competence, credentials, knowledge, and courtesy.
A detailed home inspection usually takes two to three hours or longer, depending on the
home's age and square footage. We recommend that you be present at your home inspection
so that you can ask your inspector any questions and to look at any areas needing
maintenance or repair.

Pathogenic, or Toxic.
