Home inspectors carry significant professional liability exposure. A buyer relies on your report to make one of the largest financial decisions of their life. If something is missed, a hidden moisture problem, a faulty electrical panel, structural issues, and it costs the buyer money after closing, the inspector is often the first person named in a claim. E&O insurance is the core coverage for this profession, and the NC Standards of Practice don't protect you from professional liability claims.

Frequently asked questions
What insurance does a NC home inspector need?
Errors and omissions (E&O) insurance is the essential professional liability coverage for home inspectors, it covers claims alleging you missed something in your inspection or made an error in your report. General liability covers premises and bodily injury claims. Both are typically required by NC inspection associations and recommended by state licensing guidance.
Is E&O insurance required for NC home inspectors?
NC does not legally mandate E&O insurance for home inspector licensure, but many inspection associations strongly recommend or effectively require it, and clients or real estate agents often request proof of coverage. Operating without E&O exposes your personal assets to professional liability claims.
What does home inspector E&O insurance cover in NC?
E&O insurance covers legal defense and judgments arising from claims that your inspection was negligent or failed to identify a material defect that a competent inspector should have caught. It covers the cost of defending the claim, regardless of whether you are ultimately found liable.
