How long does a home inspection take?
Quick answer: Most home inspections take roughly two to three hours on site, depending on the home's size, age and condition. Larger or older Bloomington homes with finished basements and outbuildings take longer.
A small condo or townhome may take under two hours, while a large or complex single-family home can take three or more. Add-ons such as radon testing involve a monitor that stays in the home for about 48 hours.
You are welcome to attend, especially for the final walkthrough, where the inspector reviews key findings and answers questions in person.
The written report typically follows within about a day, so you have documentation to act on quickly during your inspection contingency.
