I crawl because I can

I crawl because I can- Quincy Home Inspection

On this particular home inspection I was not performing a structural pest inspection because one had already been performed.

When I perform a home inspection my standard is to always perform a structural pest inspection but in this case one had been done recently, or was it?

I always do the crawlspace last because, well it is the nastiest area of the home generally and I do not want to re-enter the home after my little foray with the spiders and muck. (I usually do not smell too good either!)

So during my inspection of the crawlspace I come to this interesting little area.

Now if this home had a previous pest inspection why is this in the condition I found it? Nothing has been disturbed in this area and by our standards we are to crawl all areas of the home unless we are obstructed or there is a perceived danger by the home inspector (maybe it was the creature from the black lagoon lurking ; ).

If any conditions that limit the inspection have been encounter they must be noted on the report.

Here is what else I found after de-webbing the area.

When hiring a home inspector it would be wise to ask how they will perform the crawlspace inspection. This is a very major area that needs a very thorough inspection.
