I've had the pleasure of working with 3 excellent home inspectors over the past 20 years. They tested and checked things that I never would have thought of. One of them flagged the water heater in our current house for immediate replacement. Sure enough, it started leaking the day after we moved in. We had asked for various fixes to be made but the seller only did a sewer repair and I think that is/was required for the house to be in sellable condition. With everybody looking for houses now, a big thing is to put in a bid without requiring an inspection. I'm sure it works out almost all of the time but I'd hate to do it.
