Re: Winterized/foreclosure inspections
My contract states the inspection fee is for one trip only. Additional trips will requre additional fees. The agent may be able to turn the water on the next day but I may not be available the next day.
I had a foreclosure where the electrical meter had been pulled and the line from the pole had been cut. Water was turned off. Agent pulled out a meter wrench and attempted to turn on the water at the street. Water shot over 6 feet into the air. Well, it hit the agent in the face and then shot higher into the air. He turned off the water, wiped his face and tried again. Got a second face full of water.
I inspected the home but disclaimed all the testing of the utitlies. There was plenty to report even with them turned off. We were going to schedule a second inspection when utilities were turned on. Never happened. Had it happened, I would have charged for the second trip and report. Not full price but something to cover my time.
