Home inspections essential to safe housing

With home sales through the roof, home inspectors are in high demand since their work is a critical step in the purchase process. Only a thorough, professional inspection of the home’s physical structure and mechanical condition, from roof to foundation, can uncover the issues you’ll need to watch for as a buyer. In the City of Lebanon, home inspectors are supposed to be registered with the City. City Code Administrator Joe Berkich shares a scenario that shows how important it is to have a legitimate home inspector….

Berkich said his job is to help protect the life, health, and safety of the residents. Every construction project is required to be permitted and inspected by the city throughout the process, and before any property is occupied, either residential or commercial. If you ever have a question about a home you are buying or selling, you may contact the city of Lebanon at 417-991-3905.
