Two different jobs, often discussed together. Learn what to ask for when booking maintenance.
A home purchase, an unfamiliar system, a visible defect, or a change in operation calls for clarity about inspection scope. Ask what the evaluation will and will not establish.
Cleaning scope depends on the system, deposits, and access. Ask whether the inspection is included and what happens if a defect is discovered.
Inspection evaluates and documents condition within an agreed scope; cleaning removes accessible deposits and debris. You may need both. Tell the professional why you are calling and ask what the visit includes.
