They cover the importance of providing clear access to key areas like the electrical panel, water heater, attic, and sewer clean-outs. The hosts explain how obstructed access can lead to incomplete inspections and additional costs for hiring specialists.
They emphasize clearing out clutter, especially in the garage, and ensuring inspectors can easily locate shut-off valves, sprinkler controls, and other essential components.
