Due to my individual Covid-19 concerns and to adhere to local guidelines, I will be following these guidelines effective 6/1/20 until further notice. I will conduct residential and commercial inspections on both vacant and occupied buildings, but only as follows:
- Buyers are welcome to attend the inspection but I would prefer they attend only at or near the end of the inspection time-slot to review the report, and ONLY if the buyer is not experiencing any illness symptoms or been exposed to any potential illness. Buyers should wear protective masks and use hand sanitizer or wash hands prior to entry. The seller and/or GRAR may have further restrictions.
- The building must be vacated by owner and/or occupants for the duration of the inspection. I will NOT inspect buildings with occupants present.
- If the owner or occupants are experiencing any illness, been potentially exposed to any illness, if there are signs of an unhealthy environment, or if there are any conditions that I deem to be potentially unsafe for myself or any other parties, I will not proceed with the inspection. This information will be forwarded to the listing agent prior to the inspection, with their obligation to notify me beforehand of any potential issues.
When requested and feasible, I can offer verbal or video reviews to clients from the site to address the report and any concerns. As always, electronic copies of the report(s) will be delivered within an hour of the completion of the inspection. I apologize for the inconvenience, and trust that we will all continue to be flexible and cautious in these strange times.
Thank you again for your continued support,
Thom Bowyer
Owner/Inspector, NPI
