PREPARING FOR A HOME INSPECTION.

Access

✓ Provide keys to any locked areas.

✓ Allow access to the attic, basement or crawlspace, garage and yard.

✓ Make sure our inspector will be able to readily access:

• The electrical panel

• Main water shutoff

• Water heater

• Furnace

• Central AC Unit

• Gas meter

Updates

✓ Replace any burnt-out light bulbs.

✓ Ensure Smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors are functioning.

General Information

✓ Plan to be away from the home for the duration of the inspection, which is typically 2½ to 3 hours. It may take longer if the home is very old or very large.

✓ Store small valuables and medications out of sight and in a safe location or consider taking these items with you when you leave.

✓ Remove pets or keep them safely created.

✓ Provide copies of records/warranties for any major improvements – furnace, roof, etc. to show when the work was completed.
