What if the house is vacant?
If the house is not occupied, then the utilties may be off. You can check with your real estate agent to find out if that’s the case. Working utilities are a normal part of presenting the house and making it available for Inspection. In many cases the seller can arrange for utilities to be available for Inspection. If for some reason the utilities are not available, please notify me prior to the Inspection. I can make those arrangements for a $50 fee, plus any actual charges made by the utility companies. And remember that the pilot lights need to be lit for any gas appliances, prior to the Inspection.
