Prepare Your Home For an Inspection

Prepare Your Home for an Inspection

At AccuSpec our objective is to provide a high quality inspection and objectively communicate it to our client. As the seller, you can help facilitate this effort by doing the following:

Make sure all utilities are on and all pilot lights are lit. A complete inspection requires that all major appliances and equipment be inspected using normal operating controls. Utilities that are not on usually result in a return trip to the house.

Make sure access to the entire property is available. While an inspection is not intrusive, we want to see everything. That means the attic, crawlspaces, and all points between. At the point an inspection is needed, you have usually started packing. Try to keep all boxes away from the walls so these areas can be observed. If you have a day sleeper or small children taking naps, make sure our scheduling coordinators know this so we can accommodate your needs.

Our inspectors are great to work with, but some animals might not think so. If you have a pet that can get a little nervous or agitated, please help us and put them away for a couple of hours.

Take the time to share any information you think might be helpful to our inspector. A home inspection is not just about finding fault with a house, it’s about providing information. Tell us the good stuff too!
