| Sellers Can Speed Up Their Home Inspection Sellers can speed their home inspection by following these suggestions. The inspection will go smoother, with fewer concerns to delay closing. 1. Confirm that water, electric and gas service are on, with gas pilot lights burning. 2. Ensure pets won’t hinder the inspection. Ideally, they should be removed from premises or secured outside. Tell your agent about any pets at home. 3. Replace burned out bulbs to avoid a “Light is inoperable” report that may suggest an electrical problem. 4. Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and replace dead batteries. 5. Clean or replace dirty HVAC air filters. They should fit securely. 6. Remove stored items, debris and wood from foundation. These may be cited as “conducive conditions” for termites. 7. Remove items blocking access to HVAC equipment, electric service panels, water heaters, attics and crawl spaces. 8. Unlock areas the inspector must access - attic doors or hatches, electric service panels, closets, fence gates and crawl spaces. 9. Trim tree limbs to 10' from the roof and shrubs from the house to allow access. 10. Attend to broken or missing items like doorknobs, locks and latches; windowpanes, screens and locks; gutters, downspouts and chimney caps. Checking these areas before your home inspection is an investment in selling your property. Your real estate agent and home inspector will thank you! |

| All Home Inspection will conduct a thorough inspection of your home As a NACHI-certified professional home inspector, I have the knowledge and expertise to provide you with a thorough and professional, non-intrusive, visual inspection of your home, from roof to foundation. Outside the home, I will check the exterior walls, roof, driveway, deck, etc., then I will move inside to examine the walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows. The heating, air-conditioning,plumbing, and electrical systems will all be examined to ensure that they function as intended. Bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms receive a thorough check, along with the attic and basement or crawl space. (love the crawl space) Here are some of the items I'll be looking at during the inspection: Foundation and support structure Fireplaces Roof systems Basement seepage Safety controls Water heater Ventilation Electrical capacity & components Structural integrity Steps and stairs Heating system Central Air Conditioning system Walks and driveways Built-in appliances Plumbing system & fixtures Garages, Carports, Workshops or other external buildings Surface drainage Windows & doors Insulation Gutters & down spouts Decks Sump pumps We invite you to come along and be a part of the inspect of your home, and you are free to ask questions at any time during your home inspection. |

My Promise to You
Choosing the right home inspector can be difficult. Unlike
most professionals, you probably will not get to meet me
until after you hire me. Furthermore, different inspectors
have varying qualifications, equipment, experience,
reporting methods, and yes, different pricing. One thing for
sure is that a home inspection requires work, a lot of
work. Ultimately a thorough inspection depends heavily on
the individual inspector’s own effort. If you honor me by
permitting me to inspect your new home, I guarantee that I
will give you my very best effort. This I promise you.
