Answer: Yes. The goal of a home inspection is not just to inspect the property, but also to educate the homeowner or potential buyer about the property's condition.
You should feel free to ask the inspector any questions you may have during the inspection process. This is better achieved if you are present at the time of the inspection.

your home in shape, a do-it-yourself Home Repair Manual, and saving on home services from Service Master of Brands.
