Things To Do To Get Ready For A Home Inspection

1. Clean and Declutter: Before the home inspection, clean your home thoroughly and declutter the rooms. This will make it easier for the inspector to access the various areas of your home and identify potential issues.

2. Check Safety Measures: Make sure that all the safety measures in your home, such as smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and fire extinguishers are functioning properly.

3. Check for Water Damage: Check for water damage in the kitchen, bathroom, and any other areas where water is regularly used. This includes checking for leaks under sinks and around toilets.

4. Check Electrical System: Make sure all electrical outlets are working properly, and the wiring is in good condition.

5. Check HVAC System: Make sure that your heating and cooling system is in good condition and functioning correctly.

6. Check Structural Elements: Check for any cracks, gaps or other signs of damage on the foundation, walls, ceiling, and roof.

7. Provide Access: Make sure all areas of your home are accessible for the inspector, including attics, basements, and crawl spaces.

8. Gather Documentation: Assemble any permits, certificates, warranties, and manuals for appliances, systems, and renovations to hand over to the inspector.

9. Address Repairs: Fix any minor repairs beforehand to show that your home is well-maintained.

10. Remove Pets: If you have pets, it’s best to remove them from your home during the inspection.

Todd did a fantastic job on our inspection. He was kind and made scheduling very easy. Todd was very thorough, provided pictures and explanations, and sent us the report the same day. He provided us with the information needed to feel comfortable moving forward on our home buying journey! Would definitely recommend 🙂 - 5/08/2024

Todd with TKO Home Inspections did an amazing job. He’s very thorough, provides detailed information/findings along with photos which makes things much easier to understand. They are also categorized by minor, moderate, safety/severe. He’s always available to answer any questions during and after the inspection. I would highly recommend him for your home inspection needs. - 10/24/2021

The only reason I give this person a 1 star is because there is not an option to give 0 stars. The buyers of my home had this person inspect by this person and he disabled my garage door. The garage door was working when I left it and the inspector was the only person in the garage between the time I left and the time I found the garage door disabled. He would not take responsibility for the damage and was very rude when I asked him about it. If you are unfortunate enough to have your house inspected by this ham-handed amateur, expect damage and no accountability. - 2/24/2022

Todd was extremely helpful and took the time to explain everything to us thoroughly. We had a quick turnaround time with our inspection, and he was able to make sure we hit our deadline. He even went out of his way to make sure we were paying the best price. Could not recommend him enough, especially for first-time buyers! - 1/24/2024
