As a home seller, you have a significant role in the home inspection process. Your Home Inspector can do their job correctly if you help them prepare your house for the inspection. Here are ways that you can prepare your home for a Home Inspection:
Make Sure Pilot Lights Are Lit – Your home inspector will not be able to inspect your furnace, gas stove, and water heater if equipped with pilot lights that are off. Ensure that your pilot lights are on before your home inspector arrives to avoid delay in completing the home inspection.
Clear Their Access – Give your home inspector full access to all rooms or areas of the house. Your inspector will not inspect a locked space or any area inaccessible because of clutter. Ensure that any crawlspace, basement, or attic is accessible to your home inspector.
History Of Repairs – Be ready with the documents or receipts of previous repairs done to your home. This will be helpful to your home inspector since they can see if there are any recurring issues or as proof that the previous problems were fixed by a professional.
Keep children and pets away during the inspection – To avoid your kids or pets getting in your home inspector’s way while the inspection is performed. This is for everybody’s safety and for the home inspection to be done faster. Keep your pets outside or in a different location, and only let them in once the inspection is completed.
