How to Prepare for a Home Inspection

Whether you’re selling your home or just scheduling a routine inspection, preparing for a home inspection is key to ensuring a smooth and successful process. At Ta Facon LLC, we provide thorough Home Inspections, Mold Assessments, and Air Quality Testing across Rockland County, Montebello in Suffern NY, Orange County, and Westchester County. Here are some essential steps to help you get ready for your upcoming home inspection.

1. Clean and Declutter

While the inspector will be focused on checking the major systems of the home, a clean and organized space helps ensure nothing is overlooked. Clean areas like the attic, basement, and crawl spaces, and remove any obstacles that may block access to plumbing, electrical panels, or HVAC systems.

2. Provide Access to Key Areas

Ensure that the inspector has easy access to all critical areas, including:

• Attics and crawl spaces

• Basements and garages

• Utility rooms and storage areas

• The electrical panel and plumbing fixtures

Clear away any stored items or furniture that could obstruct the inspector’s view.

3. Take Care of Small Repairs Beforehand

If there are minor issues that you know about, such as a leaky faucet or a cracked tile, take care of them before the inspection. While these minor issues may not derail the process, addressing them in advance can help show the inspector that the home has been well-maintained.

4. Ensure Utilities are On

Make sure all utilities (electricity, gas, and water) are turned on for the inspection. The inspector needs to assess the functionality of the home’s major systems, and they won’t be able to complete the inspection if any utilities are off.

5. Be Prepared for the Inspection Report

After the inspection, you’ll receive a detailed report of the inspector’s findings. This report will include information on the home’s condition, any issues detected, and recommendations for repairs or further evaluations. It’s important to review the report carefully to understand what steps need to be taken next.

6. Plan to Be Present (Optional)

While you don’t need to be present during the entire inspection, it’s a good idea to be there for at least part of it. This allows you to ask questions, gain insight into the home’s condition, and learn about any issues firsthand.

7. Communicate with the Inspector

If you have any concerns about the home, share them with the inspector beforehand. This ensures they can pay extra attention to areas you’re particularly worried about.
