In new and/or vacant homes, utilities can sometimes be an issue. We make every effort to confirm with you and your agent that the utilities will be on for the inspection. The builder/owner should be able to turn on temporary utilities for the purposes of the inspection and walk-thru. Please confirm with the builder, sales office, listing agent, or homeowner that the utilities will be on for the inspection. The number one reason people cancel inspections is because the utilities are not on so please make sure to give us 24 hours notice if there is a problem.
