Business as usual – with a few extra precautions 

We’re taking action to protect buyers and sellers in response to COVID-19

We’re committed to keeping up business as usual, with a few extra precautions in response to COVID-19. 

We know you may be uncertain about the home inspection process at this time, but please know we’re taking steps to make sure everyone involved is safe and comfortable. 

Here’s how:

  • We’re happy to video chat with buyers over FaceTime or Zoom during the inspection. We can also do our end-of-inspection summary over the phone. This allows buyers to skip the inspection without missing a beat.
  • We’ll answer as many phone calls, texts or emails as needed to ensure all questions are answered. 
  • We’ll be wearing gloves throughout the inspection and masks upon request. 
  • All surfaces our team touches will be wiped with disinfectant. 
  • Any inspectors with symptoms (or general flu-like symptoms) will not be working. 
  • Our team will be working from home when not inspecting. 
  • We encourage sellers to stay in their home and will work around them. We can guide ourselves through the home and do not expect them to “host” us. 
  • We will follow rules of social distancing and will ask buyers and agents in attendance to do the same.
  • We will be sending a questionnaire ahead of all inspections asking all parties about their comfort level and potential exposure to the virus.

Pre-Offer Inspections

Sewer inspections are crucial in maintaining a healthy plumbing system and, as a result, a healthy living space. If you are buying a new home, there can be issues in the sewer line that are not obvious from a walk-through or even from a general inspection of the home before purchase.

Fall is here! Now is the time to do fall home maintenance tasks to avoid costly issues during the cooler weather months.

Use the Grand Home Inspection fall home maintenance checklist to make sure your home is cool-weather ready! Trust us, you won’t want to be working on these things when there is snow on the ground.

If you are somewhat handy, most of these tasks will be easy for you to complete on your own, though if you’re unsure, we suggest you call a professional.
