About Eddy County, NM

We all have opinions of how an inspection should go. But, have you ever complained to the inspector for writing up something in a report that shouldn't be there ? Then with all the asking you couldn't get the inspector to remove the item or rewrite the report.

Remember all inspections are "non invasive". Meaning as an inspector we are not going to be tearing into walls to "try to see something we cannot without tearing into a wall or any part of the home".

In most all cases we will remove panels for the electrical and service door entries. Also we need to get to the attic if at all possible and the crawl spaces (if any).

If you comment to an inspector about a report that you did not like then you need to be sure that "you are right". Meaning, have the codes at your finger tips. Be sure you know what you are talking about.

An inspector will not like to be told this is wrong. I have changed a couple of reports that were "caught in the middle" of home inspections and energy audits. I incorporate energy audits into my reports as well. This way it may be a great home but if there is no insulation, or there is major energy consumption concerns, the buyer or seller needs to know.

And what about the furnace and water heater? What efficeincy is it running at? Most about 95% of all inspectors do not offer this type of service. I do.

So next time you see a report you need "adjusted" know the codes and laws then talk to the inspector explaining your concerns. In most cases they will change it to help you make the sale if it is within their code of ethics.

Happy selling.
