It is very likely that your home inspector will require you to sign a legal document at the time of your inspection.  This document will:

• Limit the liability of the Inspector - even if the inspector totally screws up
• Likely be presented to you while your are standing in the house either before the inspector starts or after the inspector finishes - But always before you get the results of the inspection
• Explain what the inspection does and does not cover
• Has the sole purpose of protecting the inspector and inspection company from damages brought by you - the person who is paying for the inspection.
