Inspection Tips
Tips to Speed Up Your Home Inspection
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!

He has always been on time and the inspection reports are completed within one business day. - David Hutson![]()
Jason was very professional to work with. I am an out-of-town investor so I never saw the house that he inspected for me. While talking on the phone, he did a great job of explaining the condition of the house and any problems he saw. He was prompt with any communication and thorough in his work. I would use his services again and recommend him to anyone in town or out of town. - Kyle G![]()
Jason did a great job of going over our first home with a fine-tooth comb. He explained everything in person. If I had any questions, he was able to point out the areas of concern, as well as make repair suggestions. I will definitely be using Jason's name in the future for any of my friends that need a home inspection. - Chris Cummins![]()

Very impressed with Jason. He was extremely professional and spent a lot of time explaining his findings. He took the time to examine every nook and cranny of the house we are about to purchase. He was patient with our questions and did not miss a single issue with the house. We will use him again and recommend him to our friends and associates. - Karen McCrary
