01 / A CLOSER LOOK

When the question is condition

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.

02 / THE HOMEOWNER PERSPECTIVE

When the question is deposits

Cleaning scope depends on the system, deposits, and access. Ask whether the inspection is included and what happens if a defect is discovered.

THE SHORT ANSWER

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.
