Virinia Senate Bill 627
 

As Licensed Home Inpectors know, home inspections are a visual inspection for the most part. A home that is occupied that is filled with all the homeowners furniture and miscellaneous goods pose a huge problem in visually inspecting every inch on the property! one example on an issue that could happen is that if a buyer decides to do some renovations after purchasing a home you inspected and finds asbestos behind the vinyl siding could call you out on not advising them on it's presents or the cut ceiling joist hidden by the attic insulation. This bill is opening us Licensed Home Inspectors up for many lawsuits which at some point it will run this type of business in the ground or make so the average home buyer can nor afford to hire us.
