What is included in the scope of the inspection?

The state law governing home inspectors is outlined in Nevada Administrative Code 645D.

NAC 645D.450 Conduct of inspection, partial inspection or reinspection; preparation of inspection report. (NRS 645D.120)
1. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a certified inspector shall conduct each inspection and prepare a complete inspection report of each inspection in accordance with NAC 645D.460 to 645D.580, inclusive.
2. A certified inspector may exceed the requirements set forth in NAC 645D.460 to 645D.580, inclusive, when conducting an inspection.

These are the MINIMUM STANDARDS allowed by law. Our firm has developed an “Advanced Scope Inspection ™” where our scope exceeds the requirement delineated by law. We could provide you with a long list of items that you would spend a lot of time reviewing to ensure everthing that is import to you is covered or we could just tell you that if it is an accessible fixture associated with the home- we review it. No legal mumbo jumbo. No limiting disclaimers. If we can get to it, we review it. There are two caveats to our scope.

• NAC 645D.060 “Readily accessible” defined. (NRS 645D.120) “Readily accessible” means that the item being inspected is accessible without the certified inspector having to:
1. Move furniture or stored items;
2. Damage paint finishes;
3. Fit into an area or opening less than 18 inches by 24 inches; or
4. Use a ladder that extends to more than 12 feet tall to reach the item.

(All of our inspectors carry 18’ ladders)

• This is a real property inspection, real property being defined as fixtures physically attached to or permanently appended to the property. Personal property items or items that can be removed are not reviewed. This includes window coverings, clothes washers and dryers, and refrigerators (except built-in refrigerators).
