Check email for your report
How soon after the inspection will I receive my report?
You will receive a detailed report within 24 hours of inspection. You have paid for this report, and it is entirely your decision whom you choose to share it with. The inspector will not share it with other parties.
What if the inspection can’t be completed? (e.g. no attic access, locked utility closed, snow on roof)
If the seller or seller's agent makes previously inaccessible spaces available, Emily will return within five or fewer days from the initial inspection to record additional information. A supplemental report will be delivered via email within 24 hours. If arrangements cannot be made within the aforementioned time frame (e.g. snow still on the roof), Emily will provide as complete of a report as deemed possible from the time of inspection.
