How long does an inspection take? Usually an inspection
lasts 2 to 3 hours. It depends on the size, age, and previous care and repairs
to the home.
Do I need to go to the inspection? No, you do not need to be
there. Some people prefer to be there, but others find it boring and would
rather just look at the report when it is done. The report will provide you with
a list of any and all problems found and is usually accompanied by pictures. We
don't mind having you tag along, but remember, we are trying to concentrate on
our job, so we don't want constant interruptions either.
How quickly can you come inspect? We understand that during
a real estate transaction, time is of the essence. Usually, we can get to the
property within a few days of your call confirming the inspection. Our report is
usually sent to you within 24 hours of the inspection. Sometimes other
tests such as radon and water take a few extra days.
Does the house need to be clean and neat for the inspection?
We are inspecting the building and property, not your personal belongings. You
do not need to worry about a cleaning before the inspection. It is helpful that
you put things away so that we have easy uncluttered access to your house,
especially the basement, attic, utility areas, bathrroms, and kitchen.
Do you provide a report? With a day or two of your
inspection, we will send you a report, highlighting all the concerns and
comments we have regarding the property. If you provide us with an email
address, we will send it to you by email and you will get it sooner than if sent
by regular mail. The report is usually 35 pages or so and includes pictures of
the property and any important features or concerns. Sometimes, if we are
waiting on water or radon test results, we may wait to send your report when all
information is in.
