All-Tex Inspections is still performing home inspections for our customers, however, we are enacting precautions to do our part in the fight against the COVID-19 Coronavirus spread. We want to protect our customers, realtor partners, home owners, tenants, and our inspectors.

We are following the recommendations of one of our home inspection trade organizations CDC regarding precautions to take during the inspection.

Our inspectors will sanitize their hands prior to beginning the inspection, wipe entry doorknobs inside and out upon entering the home, and the surfaces we operate such as stove knobs, sink faucet handles etc.  The inspector will wash hands during the inspection several times if possible. We will wear booties in the home over shoes instead of removing shoes. We love shaking hands with our customers, but for now, no handshakes, fist bumps, or elbows. We will maintain social distance from other folks as well.

We ask that non-essential people do not attend the inspection unless necessary. We know that you, as customers want to attend the inspection, and normally, we highly encourage that, but this is a unique situation and following the requests and recommendation of the CDC is the best course of action for now.

Everyone involved with the home inspection is responsible for helping with safety. The following advice is based on current recommendations from the CDC, NIH, & WHO. People should be aware that the situation is changing constantly and should monitor the CDC for official updates and recommended behavior.

• Reschedule the inspection if you feel sick, or if you exhibit symptoms of a respiratory illness.
