Provide adequate working areas
Remove boxes, bookcases, furniture and anything else blocking access to your furnace, air conditioner, water heater, attic access, and electric panels. The inspector will need three to four feet of working space around these items to inspect them. Home inspectors will not move personal items that are in the way of inspecting but will instead, report that personal items limited their inspection (such as clothing, boxes, bicycles, strollers, toys, cars in the garage, cleaning items under sinks, etc.).
