Here at Wolf Pack Home Inspections we are closely monitoring the rapid evolving outbreak of COVID-19 and we are taking precautionary measures with guidance from the local health experts, state officials, and the CDC. We want to assure our clients, employees, and everyone in our local communities that we are taking their health and safety very seriously.<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Buyers<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Please note that we have sent the following regarding Covid Protocols to the buyer\/client:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

-Due to COVID 19, our policies and procedures have changed.\u00a0 Public Health recommendations mean we can no longer allow clients or realtors to attend the entire home inspection.\u00a0 Our\u00a0priority is to keep you, and our inspectors, safe and healthy.\u00a0 Due to numerous confined spaces within the home, 2M\/6feet\u00a0physical distancing is not possible or practical.\u00a0You (the buyer) have the following options, either:<\/p>\n

a.\u00a0 \u00a0We will arrange to call you to discuss findings near the end of the scheduled inspection time (preferred), or<\/p>\n

b.\u00a0 \u00a0 Physically distanced discussion during the last 30min of the scheduled inspection time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you would like to visit the home\/measure etc., it would be recommended to complete this within the last hour of the scheduled inspection time.\u00a0 Please note that a realtor\/owner must be present with the client for liability reasons. PLEASE limit the attendees to the immediate client(s) and realtor(s) (this reduces contact tracing). The inspector will continue his inspection separate from this client walkthrough and the review will begin within the last half hour of the scheduled inspection time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We remain committed to performing the best possible inspection for you.\u00a0 We will still provide a written report by email as usual AND we are\u00a0always\u00a0available for follow up AFTER the inspection (by email is typically the easiest\/most efficient).\u00a0\u00a0Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.\u00a0 Thank you for your understanding.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Buyer’s Agent<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Please note that we have sent the following regarding Covid Protocols to the buyer\/client:We are now operating under BC Step 3 regulations.\u00a0 The inspected premises becomes a workplace per Worksafe and as such, our inspectors will continue to wear masks and practice infectious disease protocols.\u00a0 Additionally, there may be requirements from either Realtor and the home owner\/residents.<\/p>\n

Please let us know if you (the buyer’s agent) will be present or prefer to participate in a 3 way call with the client at approximately TBD .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please note, it is our company policy that no (unsupervised) minors may be present during the inspection for safety reasons- while servicing the inspection, we may temporarily open\/access or create a situation that would not normally be present.\u00a0 For safety, we require either one and\/or both of the Realtors or another adult (family member\/babysitter etc)\u00a0be present\u00a0if a minor is onsite. Please take\u00a0necessary measures to ensure adult supervision if a minor will be present during the inspection, failure to do so will result in our inability to proceed with the inspection- our inspector will exit the property upon learning there is an unaccompanied minor present and we will then contact the realtor or property contact to reschedule the\u00a0inspection to a time at\u00a0which this policy can be met. Thank you for your\u00a0assistance in ensuring a safe inspection environment.<\/p>\n
