Preparing for an
inspection.
An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure
Before A Home
Inspector Inspects Your House Or Your Listing You
Should consider:
1. Replace all
burned out light bulbs so every fixture responds when the switch
is turned on. Consider lower watt bulbs in multiple
bulb light fixtures. LED bulbs
will save you money and will not heat up areas during the summer. Be sure to check closets, over tub &
shower, front & back porch, flood lights, garage, garage
door operator light, attic and storage room.
2. Replace air
filters in cooling - heating units. Make sure the filter is the
correct size so that no unfiltered air is circulating through the
system. Dirty filters are the main
reason for cooling unit failure. Clean out the return vent area
behind the filter, with unit off. Note: A dirty filter is
better than no filter.
3. Replace the
batteries in your smoke
detectors. test the smoke
detectors to make sure they are responding. Todays building
standards calls for smoke
detectors in every bedroom and the hallway.
4. Replace cracked,
broken or missing switch plates and plug cover plates. At $2.00
each this minor investment is worth the time to have a much
cleaner home inspection report. Tighten up cabinet knobs. Easy and
no cost. Tighten up loose door knobs. Have a door that swings
closed and will not hold open. Easy fix is remove a hinge pin,
take it outside and bend it slightly. Place it back in the hinge.
5. Clear attic
stairway or crawl space entry. A good home inspector will want to
inspect the attic and may note a limitation If Attic Is Blocked
Off. Save money use a stairway zip up cover. (light
bulb in the attic)
6. Provide Keys For
All Areas, such as panel box, attic stairway, fence gates, door to under house
and double key dead bolts. Inspectors may charge extra for
return trips, one obstacle you can avoid. Alarm Code????? ( note
in lock box )
7. Keep or locate
documentation on recent service calls and repairs for things like air
conditioning & heat, roof warranty, replaced or repaired power
attic ventilators, plumbing ect. Disclose known
conditions on disclosure statement. Things are a lot easier to
deal with up front than on the back end. Disclosure statement
should be available for the home inspector as well as others. The
best
time to handle an objection is before it comes up.
8. Consider removing
dogs, or cats that may follow inspector into attic or run for the
door.
9. Water, power and
gas ( if applicable ) should be on for inspector to properly
inspect plumbing, electrical, Air, heat, hot water ect. Expect a
limited inspection if water, power or gas is not on. Inspectors
are not responsible for turning on utilities.
10. Clean
the ashes out of any wood burning fireplace. A fireplace full of
wood and ashes is a limitation to the inspection. Closing the
damper to the chimney when not in use can make the home smell
better and be less drafty. Clean gutters and downspouts.
By much
slothfulness the building decayeth: And through idleness of the
hands the house droppeth through. ECCLESIASTES Chapter 10 Verse 18
