If you are not able to inspect a particular component for some reason, you should mark the item as "not inspected" on the report and provide an explanation. The client has the right to know if there were any limitations to your inspection. Home inspections do not "pass" or "fail" components. Rather, inspection reports provide detailed information to clients about the current state of the home including deficiencies and recommendations for repair. Never make a guess about the condition of a component or leave an item blank on inspection reports. Both are grounds for legal action due to misrepresentation of the facts or negligence.
