Observation of the following recommendations will help ensure that
a complete and proper inspection can be performed:
All utilities including electrical service, water service
and gas supply should be available and active. Equipment
should be ready to operate; electrical circuit breakers and
gas supply valves should be on and pilot lights should be
active at gas furnaces, water heaters, etc.
All areas of the home should be made accessible for the
inspection. Access and sufficient inspection space around
heating / air conditioning equipment, kitchen appliances,
electrical panel boxes, and other inspected equipment should
be provided.
Access openings to attic areas should be readily
accessible. For example, if an access opening is located
within a closet all items that would preclude easy access,
such as placement of aladder, should be moved.
Pets should be secured / caged. There is the potential
for the inspectors being injured and the inspectors can not
be responsible for pets running away when doors are opened
and closed.
Clients should Inform the inspectors of any particular
concerns they have, such as problem are as that they observed
or that have been disclosed to them. Whenever possible,
home buyers should obtain from the homeowner an up to date
formal disclosure document that identifies known problems and
any major repairs or changes that have been made.
Allow the inspectors to proceed with the inspection with
as little interruption as possible. A proper inspection can
only be accomplished when the inspectors can fully concentrate
on the items being evaluated.

The following information is provided in order to give owners
or residents of the property being evaluated a better
understanding of the home inspection process:
Florida Certified Home Inspection is a home
inspection service company. The inspectors are full time
real estate inspectors and have performed thousands of
home inspections.
Evaluation of the property is performed in accordance
with the Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics of the
"American Society of Home Inspectors", where
pertaining.
Our inspection is not a pass or fail inspection. We
essentially report, to our clients, conditions or defects
that in the inspector's opinion adversely affect the proper
function or safety of the major systems, components and
items of the property, that pertain to the inspection.
Generally, evaluation and reporting of merely cosmetic
and minor / inconsequential details and deficiencies is
beyond the scope of this inspection.
It is best to allow us to proceed with the inspection
without interruption so that we are able to conduct a
complete and accurate evaluation.
Usually the inspectors will be making evaluations
throughout the interior and exterior of the home; walking on
the roof, climbing in the attic, opening the windows,
operating central heating / air conditioning systems and
standard built-in appliances, opening electrical panel boxes,
looking under the kitchen / bathroom sinks,
running showers / tubs, etc.
If there are any areas or components of the home that you
do not wish to be accessed or handled by the inspectors please
inform them.
Also, if you are aware of any problems or adverse
conditions affecting any of the systems and components of the
property please inform the inspectors.
