GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR INSPECTION
When we perform your home inspection we will be looking at several hundred items
from the roof down to the foundation.
Various conditions can enhance or impair the inspection process. We want to do
the best job possible for you and have prepared this guide to getting the most
from your inspection.
* Be there if at all possible, it will help you understand the written report.
Seeing what the inspector sees can make findings more understandable. You may
have some concerns based on your initial walk through. Let your inspector know
as the inspection starts or call the office ahead of time so we can be best
prepared. An extra pair of eyes can always help, so point out any concerns when
the inspector has a free moment.
* Distractions hurt. We really mean it when we say that it is important for you
to be there. Please keep in mind though, that if you or your Uncle Joe divert
the inspector's attention away from inspecting, it increases the chances of
missing something important. Do not monopolize the inspector's time--provide a
little breathing room for looking and recording. A comfortable role for you at
the inspection lies somewhere between a shadow and a wallflower. Do not worry,
the inspector will point out important findings on-site and follow-up with a
detailed computer generated report.
* Accessibility counts. We'd like to look at as many things as possible. If you
know that something important-such as an attic access, an electric panel or a
furnace is blocked, ask your agent to see if it's possible to have access
available for the inspection. Your inspector is not allowed to move furniture or
remove wall coverings; this is a non-invasive inspection.
* Home vacant? Be sure that ALL utilities are on. Outlets, furnaces, water
heaters, built-in dishwashers, plumbing evaluations all require those
all-important utilities. We must charge for return trips necessitated by shut
down utilities or other lack of access. Again, you can help get the best
inspection by requesting all utilities be turned on & pilot lights lit.
* Background helps paint the picture. Disclosure statements, repair &
replacement bills, maintenance history are always helpful information. If you
have any of this information, share it with us before or at the inspection; it
can only enhance your inspector's effectiveness.
