CRAWL-HOLE OR ENTRANCE TO UNDER FLOOR AREA TOO SMALL / COVER MISSING / AMISS: 
The crawl-hole is too small for easy access. The inspector will try to enter access openings which are smaller than building standards allow but in this particular case he apparently cannot. Every attempt will be made to gain access into the attic and underneath the building since these are critical areas and, if at all possible, must be inspected. If the inspector cannot gain access into the attic or under the building he/she can only view what is visible from whatever opening he/she can find (like vents and other openings). The inspector cannot review items he/she cannot see. It may be necessary to cut a larger opening into the crawl area. Sometimes this is easiest if it is cut in the floor of a closet, or the like, and thereafter installing a "trap door" over the opening. Should access be available at a later date, a reinspection should be called for. There may be a fee for this added service. Missing or damaged covers should be installed or repaired to prevent vermin from entering the under floor area. Contact a Handyman Service for assistance if needed.

Exactly who works for you during a home purchase? Your New Jersey Real Estate Attorney will, as will a very carefully selected home inspector. A haphazardly selected inspector can be very hazardous to your wealth. Many home buyers are told by those who are only compensated if a sale goes through all licensed home inspectors are the same. Few things can be further from the truth. For example if you were going to a doctor would you prefer one who just got out of school last week, or one who taught in the school for a few years, who has been in practice since 1993, who had eight or so years experience in an affiliated industry and who has done the exact same thing more than 6,000 times for others. When selecting a doctor, New Jersey Real Estate Attorney or New Jersey Home Inspector do not let the minimum qualification of holding a license fool you. Go out of your way to select the best qualified and most experienced professional you can afford.
