What "reasonable access" means here
For a camera inspection, readily accessible conditions mean a residential line the camera can be run into directly. Difficult access, extra inspection time or commercial scope change the price.
If we find something this baseline didn’t assume, we explain it and you approve any added work before it starts.
Note: The home-buyer visual check is a look at accessible, exposed plumbing. It is not a code-compliance inspection or a full-home inspection, and concealed or inaccessible systems are outside its scope.
