Allow approximately 3 hours for a full
inspection. Additional time may be required if
this is your first home inspection or if you
have a lot of questions about the property. Your
inspector will stay with you until all of your questions are answered and he
will be available to you by phone after the inspection.
-
Make sure you can attend the
inspection. Your
inspection will be much more informative if
you are there. While our reports are detailed, clear and
easy to read there are many little points that you will pick up by being at
the inspection, including learning how to operate key equipment and systems.
-
Make sure the time, date and
duration of
the inspection does not conflict with the
property occupants and/or the Realtors
involved.

Make sure all utilities are
on and systems are operational prior to the
inspection. This is
important to allow for a complete inspection
of all systems.

the inspector will need access to all areas of
the home and that stored items should not
block access to any area, mechanical systems or equipment. Air conditioning systems can
only be check when the outside temperature has
been at least 62 degrees for the past 24 hours or the
compressor may become damaged.
