Standards of Practice

By adhering to these nationally recognized benchmarks, we provide our clients — and their legal representatives — with an objective, evidence-based assessment of the property’s condition at the time of inspection.

What ASHI Standards Mean for You

The American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) Standard of Practice establishes a clear scope for every professional inspection. Inspections performed to ASHI standards are:

• Strictly visual and non-invasive — we identify observable defects without destructive testing
• Consistent in scope — the same systems are evaluated on every inspection, every time
• Objective — findings are documented without bias toward any party in the transaction
• Professionally reported — all findings are communicated clearly in written form with photographic evidence

Scope of Inspection

A standard Nomad Property Inspectors inspection evaluates the following systems and components:

What Is Not Included

The ASHI SOP defines a clear scope — inspections are visual assessments of accessible areas and systems. The following are not part of a standard inspection unless explicitly agreed upon as add-on services:

• Concealed or inaccessible areas
• Environmental hazards (asbestos, lead, mold, radon) — available as add-on services
• Water quality testing — available as add-on service
• Structural engineering assessments
• Code compliance verification (inspections are not code inspections)
