To prepare for your inspection, there are a few things you can do:
- Remove any items from under the sinks in the bathrooms and kitchen.
- Remove any items within two feet of the exterior of the house.
- Move any items away from the garage walls to the center of the garage. This should eliminate
us recommending a further inspection of the garage walls.
- Trim back any bushes or ground cover that conceals the walls or foundation.
- If you have a crawl space or an attic with standing room, make sure that the access opening
is not blocked. If the access opening is located in a closet, make sure that all clothing and
storage items are removed beforehand to make them accessible for the inspector.
- If your home is on a raised foundation, the inspector will go under the house and will need
access.
