Certified Inspector of
The International Association of Certified Home Inspectors
Sellers can speed their home
inspection by following these suggestions.
The inspection will go
smoother, with fewer concerns to delay closing.
- Confirm that water, electric
and gas service are on, with gas pilot lights burning.
- 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.
- Replace burned out bulbs to
avoid a "Light is inoperable" report that may suggest an
electrical problem.
- Test smoke and carbon
monoxide detectors, and replace dead batteries.
- Clean or replace dirty HVAC
air filters. They should fit securely.
- Remove stored items, debris
and wood from foundation. These may be cited as "conducive
conditions" for termites.
- Remove items blocking access
to HVAC equipment, electric service panels, water heaters, attics
and crawl spaces.
- Unlock areas the inspector
must access - attic doors or hatches, electric service panels,
closets, fence gates and crawl spaces.
- Trim tree limbs to 10' from the
roof and shrubs from the house to allow access.
- 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 will thank
you! |
