Inspection scope & agreements
Know what the closer look includes.
An inspection is most useful when expectations are clear. Before the appointment, understand the services selected, what can be accessed, how findings are reported, and the limits of the investigation. If you have a question about an agreement or a specific concern at the property, ask me before arranging the inspection.
Clarity before the appointment
A shared
understanding.
Request the current agreement for the services you’re arranging. The information on this page is a general explanation—not a replacement contract or legal advice.
Request current agreement informationVisible and accessible conditions
A general home inspection evaluates the property’s visible and accessible components within the agreed scope. It is not destructive, does not open concealed assemblies, and cannot identify every hidden condition. Access, weather, utilities, stored belongings, and other conditions can affect what can be evaluated.
A report, not a pass-or-fail decision
The report records observations and provides useful explanations. It does not decide whether you should buy or sell, guarantee future performance, or replace advice from a qualified specialist when a finding calls for further evaluation.
Additional services have their own scope
Radon measurement, water sampling, and thermal imaging answer different questions. Discuss what each selected service includes, its preparation requirements, and how its findings will be communicated. Adding a service does not remove the limitations of another.
Confirm the actual documents
Ask for the current agreement associated with your inspection and selected services. Review it before accepting or signing anything, and raise questions about property access, exclusions, reporting, or other terms directly with me. No signature or agreement acceptance is collected on this informational page.
