What should this service address?
Routine, unchanged use and a home sale, appliance change or suspected damage may need different inspection depths. Tell the qualified professional why you are asking, then confirm the appropriate level, applicable standard and areas to be reviewed.
Ask for findings, access limitations and any further recommendations in writing. A scope-limited inspection should not be treated as an unlimited guarantee that every defect has been found.
What should be clear in the proposal?
These are questions to agree for a specific job. They are not guaranteed inclusions.

| Scope detail | What to confirm | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Reason and level | Routine care, sale, changed appliance or suspected damage | The review must fit the actual question. |
| Areas and method | Accessible areas, internal review where appropriate and any exclusions | Different scopes provide different information. |
| Report and findings | Written findings, photos if included and access limitations | The result should explain what was reviewed. |
| Further recommendations | Any additional evaluation or separately priced work | An inspection proposal is not a repair agreement. |
What helps the next conversation?
- Share the exact address, appliance and fuel, if you know them.
- Describe the reason for service and any prior report, with its date.
- Take only safe, accessible photos, and do not climb onto the roof or remove parts.
- Describe access limits, such as a locked area or a blocked appliance.
- Confirm the schedule and scope in conversation. A request is not a confirmed appointment until both are agreed.
