Lawn Irrigation Inspections
Is the grass greener on the other side?
If you're considering buying a home equipped with a lawn irrigation system (sprinkler system), we highly recommend having that system inspected by a professional. This is a visual inspection of the controllers, connections and valves, exposed lines, and sprinkler heads to ensure that everything is working properly. Damaged or leaking irrigation systems can have high replacement or repair costs, and can significantly increase your water bill.​​

Preparing for the Inspection
As the seller, there are a few things you can do to prepare for the inspection. Being prepared will help the inspection go smoothly and increase your home's appeal to potential buyers.
Brush and Other Exterior Obstructions
Make sure that all pathways are clear and free of any overgrowth or dead branches. All lawn equipment and recreational items put away.
Cleanup
Show it off well! It's important that your house is as clean as possible. Not only does this increase how your home shows, but it also helps the inspector by having a clean environment that is more accessible to preform an inspection.
House Number
It is always helpful to make sure the house number is visible from the street. As your home will have more traffic during the inspection and sale process you will want to make sure they can find it without any trouble.
Utilities are Connected
Utilities need to be connected so the inspector can test things like water flow, electrical outlets, water heaters, furnace, air conditioning, and so on. Without the utilities connected, the home inspector will have no choice but to either reschedule or suggest inspection by a specialist.
Appliances are Connected and Working
Appliances that are not connected to water, power, oil, or gas cannot be turned on by the home inspector. All appliances should be working properly, and unusable or not in use appliances should be removed.
Put Animals Away
While we love animals some can become a distraction for the inspector. Make sure to be cognizant of animals that are not friendly with strangers.
