Sellers-Prepare for Home Inspection

  • Plan to leave your home an hour before inspection
  • Take pets with you
  • Cause all utilities, systems and equipment to be on so that Buyer may complete all inspections.
  • Leave keys for crawl space, attic, gates, outbuildings, and electrical boxes in a conspicuous area.
  • Make sure valves to exterior spigots/faucets are open (not winterized).
  • Leave remotes in for garage door, ceiling fans, lights, etc. in a conspicuous area.
  • Turn on pilot light for gas-fired appliances, including water heater
  • Remove laundry from washer and dryer
  • Remove dishes from sink and dishwasher
  • Leave a sketch identifying location of a well or septic tank in a conspicuous area.
  • Leave paperwork for recent maintenance, repairs, or insurance claims in a conspicuous area.
Note: The inspector will charge for a return trip to complete an inspection, if necessary.

A few honey do items homeowners can do to save themselves some headaches:
Electrical:
  • Label circuits in electrical panel 
  • Test GFCI circuits/receptacles and repair as necessary
  • Replace missing plates/covers on electrical boxes such as switches and receptacles.
  • Replace burnt out light bulbs as needed.
  • Replace/repair faulty or missing smoke and CO detectors.

Plumbing:
  • Make sure all tubs and sinks are draining properly and clear drains with a snake or liquid plumber if necessary.
  • Tighten loose equipment such as vales, shower heads, etc. and caulk as necessary.
  • Toilets should be secured to floor and not wobbly.
  • Leave instructions to indicate location of water shut off valves, if located an inconspicuous area.  

HVAC:
  • Change filters
  • Provide invoice for recent service for inspector to see. 

​Exterior:
  • Check to see that windows and doors are operational and make adjustments as necessary.  It is common to find windows that are painted shut.
  • Clean gutters and debris from roof. Gutter downspouts should have elbow, splash pan and/or flexible extension to get the water away from the home. Trim back vegetation at least 12 inches from home or structures.

Other:
