How to Inspect the Exterior Book

The purpose of this publication is to provide accurate and useful information to home inspectors for the inspection of the exterior of residential properties.

This manual covers the components and materials of the exterior at a typical residential property, including: siding types; site drainage; moisture intrusion; windows and doors; flashing; garages; exterior structures; and other exterior systems and components. This book also covers the inspection process and InterNACHI’s Residential Standards of Practice.

This book is also a handy resource that inspectors can use on the job. It also serves as a study and review aid for InterNACHI’s How to Inspect the Exterior online course and exam.
