Southern Ohio Property Inspections follows the standards of practice set forth by the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors. We do go beyond the SOP in many situations as we walk every roof with a reasonable pitch and we inspect available appliances (dishwashers are not run through a full cycle). If you have a question about the areas we inspect, call us to discuss prior to your property inspection.
