Eagle Home Appraisal Mt Holly

An appraiser may operate faucets as part of the agreed inspection to observe water flow, hot and cold water or visible leaks. The scope depends on the assignment.

For a loan-related appraisal, ask the lender and appraiser which checks are included. Do not assume every faucet or fixture will be tested.

Visible leaks or plumbing deficiencies can be noted as condition information.

Limitations

Appraisers do not perform the same level of inspection as a licensed home inspector. Their checks are limited to basic functionality and safety, not in-depth assessment or diagnostics.

Basic observation does not establish the condition of every fixture or concealed pipe.

An appraisal is not a substitute for a home inspection or a plumber’s assessment.
