Texas License Law
TREC's 'Standards of Practice' for real estate inspectors define the minimum requirements for home inspections. When an inspector observes a condition beyond the scope of their inspection, they should:
AIgnore it since it is beyond the required scope
BNote the observed condition in the report and recommend further evaluation by a qualified specialist✓ Correct
CMake the repair and charge the client
DCall TREC for guidance before proceeding
Explanation
Even when conditions are beyond the required scope of inspection, TREC's Standards of Practice encourage inspectors to note observed conditions of concern in their report and recommend further evaluation by appropriate specialists (structural engineers, electricians, plumbers, etc.). This protects the client even when the inspector cannot fully evaluate a condition.
