I do not allow my clients to go into the attic or crawl space during my inspection. I am firm about it. I tell them they can go it they like, but after I leave. I explain to them the reasoning is to limit liability. Also, my state's SOP says that I am not to place my clients in danger. Attics and crawl spaces are dangerous places.

Sometimes you cant stop your clients from being stupid, and you cannot watch them all them. I had a client not too long ago decide he was going to go around an open up the windows. He yanked on a blind and it came down and hit him in the head. He tried to put it back up so the seller would not notice. Before we left, I made him tell the seller what he had done. No way was I getting blamed for that one (very expensive blind)

Too long a story for details, but here's the condensed version. Paused in a dining room to watch as "artists" were putting the finishing touches on a wall mural, when the room seemed to explode. Can't recall the sequence of events, but I saw through a cloud of dust a huge chandelier shattered among the pieces of a glass table that it had demolished, and then looked up to see a leg protruding through the joists. Apparently, a worker in the attic installing an alarm triggered the event when .....
As for the cost of the damage, I have no idea but the interior door handles that I was installing were were approximately two-hundred dollars each (just the handles, not the rest of the hardware), and that was twenty years ago. I'm reminded of this every once in a while when I tightrope walk over joists.
