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 publication is a useful tool as a portable guide for inspectors on
the job. It also serves as a study aid for InterNACHI’s online How to
Inspect the Exterior course and exam.
