Report Introduction
We sincerely thank you for choosing Bruin Property Inspections for this vital step in your home buying journey. We have designed this report to be both thorough and easy to interpret. Each section will contain a grid to illustrate which systems and components were inspected, which were not, and which are in need of service or replacement.
- “Inspected” indicates the component or system was present and able to be visually inspected and/or tested.
- “Not Inspected” indicates the component or system was present but was not able to be visually inspected and/or tested. The reason, such as an obstruction, will be documented.
- “Not Present” indicates the component or system is not present.
- “Service Recommended” indicates the component or system was inspected and found to be in a condition in which professional service or replacement is needed to regain the intended function and/or to prevent damage to surrounding materials.
Please note the designation of “Inspected” without the additional designation of “Service Needed” does not indicate the system or component is free from cosmetic deficiency. Such cosmetic deficiencies may or may not be included in this report. Certain items marked as inspected may include instructions to monitor for conditions that may develop after the inspection.
We encourage the customer to consult a licensed, qualified contractor for all services. Certain recommendations will include the type of contractor we recommend consulting, such as a qualified plumber or electrician. Others may be more broad and simply suggest a qualified/licensed general contractor. Please note it is common to report on conditions where regular maintenance is due. Some of these maintenance items may be able to be performed by a qualified home owner, depending on the abilities of the home owner. We recommend consulting a qualified professional for all common and regular maintenance items mentioned where the homeowner does not feel they can adequately and safely perform the task.
Should you have any questions regarding the information in your report, please do not hesitate to contact us at (323) 376-3691. Again, we genuinely appreciate your business and wish you the best of luck with the remainder of your transaction.
