How long will an inspection take?

Inspection times vary depending on what is being inspected and the overall size of the area. For a one-story house with one to four rooms and a single identified problem area, inspections generally take roughly 30 minutes to one hour to complete, allowing time for a careful review of the affected space, basic documentation, and any immediate photographic notes. For a two-story house, you can expect the inspection to require approximately one to two hours, as stairways, additional rooms, and access to upper-level systems add to the assessment time and may require extra checks of mechanical, crawlspaces, or attic spaces. Additional issues, larger or more numerous areas, or more complex building systems will increase the time needed and may extend the inspection duration accordingly, sometimes requiring follow-up visits or more detailed testing.
