How To prepare for a home inpsection

10/24/2017

Preparing for a home inspection for a home you bought in Navarre, FL or surrounding community is essential. Home inspections are limited and non-evasive which means our SOP (standard of practice) requires us to NOT to move anything. It's a liability in the inspection industry. So, I've compiled a few tips for you to prepare for a home inspection before the inspector arrives.
  1. If the home is occupied, move furniture and/or items like boxes away from walls so any defects or electrical outlets can be accessible.
  2. Clear out any items under kitchen and bathroom sinks so the plumbing can be visible.
  3. Move any items that could block the water heater from being accessible.
  4. Clear away items that could block any electrical panels.
  5. Move furniture blocking windows from being accessible.
  6. Items along the walls in a garage should be moved.
  7. Items that could block the attic access.
  8. Vehicles in the driveway should be moved.
  9. Items that could prevent access into a room.
  10. Make sure all utilities are turned on before the inspection.
Any of these listed above are important. This helps the inspection process go smoothly.
