Please note:
No home inspector is approved to make holes in walls, remove outlet coverings, or to alter any system of the house. We look at what can normally be seen without disturbing, destroying, or dismantling anything. The real estate inspection performed for clients is a survey and basic operation of the systems and components of a building, which can be reached, entered, or viewed without difficulty, moving obstructions, or requiring any action, which may result in damage to the property or personal injury to the Inspector. The purpose of the inspection is to provide the Client with information regarding the general condition of the building(s).
For a full list of systems to be inspected, exceptions, and definitions please review our Standards of Practice (SOP) documentation.
