There are also optional systems that an inspector could also inspect but are not required. Like sprinkler systems, Pools, Spas, Septic systems, outbuildings, etc. If the home has some of these items it's important to discuss with the inspector the benefits of having these systems inspected. Termite inspections are not required for inspectors, some inspectors offer termite inspections. It's important to note certain loan types like a V.A. loan require a termite inspection.
