When interviewing potential home inspectors, find out if he or she is a member of the American Society of Home Inspectors. It is a national group that has a code of conduct and practice standards for all their members. The ASHI tests all applicants and requires them to have ample experience before being granted membership. Aside from membership to the ASHI, ask if he/she is a licensed home inspector (if licensing is required in your state) and the length of (time in years) has he/she been in this particular business. Ask the inspector how many houses or buildings has he/she inspected and if you could be given a sample report (so you can check his thoroughness).
