Components may include any combination of mechanical, structural, electrical, plumbing, or other essential systems or portions of the home, as identified and agreed to by the Client and Inspector, prior to the inspection process.

International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO), a non-profit organization. Over the time and have gotten together with several other similar organizations and come up with a new set of building codes that they are promulgating. These new codes are called the I- Codes, and are intended for use around the world.
The most significant aspects of a property, simply because of the direct and indirect damage that moisture can have on structures. More damage has probably resulted from moisture and expansive soils than from most natural disasters, and for this reason we are particularly diligent when we evaluate site conditions.
