All components designated for inspection in the ASHI Standards of Practice are inspected, except as may be noted in the "Limitations of Inspection" sections within this report. It is the goal of the inspection to put a home buyer in a better position to make a buying decision. Not all improvements will be identified during this inspection. Unexpected repairs should still be anticipated. The inspection should not be considered a guarantee or warranty of any kind. Please refer to the pre-inspection contract for a full explanation of the scope of the inspection. I do not inspect, evaluate or test sprinkler systems, septic systems, wells or well water quality . Crawl spaces maybe inspected from the access panel only depending on condition of crawl space & access, decision is up to inspectors discretion. Attic maybe inspected from the access panel only decision is up to inspectors discretion . Roofs may be inspected from the eves or ground with binoculars because of roof pitch or weather, decision is up to inspectors discretion & safety concerns.
