We also instruct our employees to stay at home if they are not feeling well and
seek medical help if necessary. On top of this, our inspectors follow the
protocols below when conducting home inspections:
We typically request that clients attend the inspection but at this point in time,
we request that clients wait for our call and report instead. We can schedule a
brief call at the end of the inspection to provide a summary of our findings.
We can also conduct a phone review after sending the inspection report.
However, we suggest that buyers and sellers read the following recommendations below
should you wish to attend the inspection. Feel free to call us for any
questions you may have.

people in a very short window of time.
NFPA codes and standards such as NFPA 1, Fire Code, NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, and NFPA 80, Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives,
govern the installation, inspection, testing and maintenance of fire
doors. Fire doors and other opening protectives such as shutters and
windows must be operable at all times. Operability of these systems
includes opening, closing and latching. Fire doors must be kept closed
and latched or arranged to be automatic closing during the time of a fire.
In addition, blocking or wedging of doors in the open position is
prohibited, as it violates the required operation and closing feature of the door.
