I read it as “if the prospective homeowner elects to get a home inspection,” as opposed to “if the prospective homeowner asks you to inspect the irrigation during the home inspection.” Either way, very vague.
A person almost needs a law degree to live in California nowadays, crazy stuff.
I would imagine a “non invasive inspection” would only check for leaks/backflow prevention, and observe the spray pattern of the sprinklers/irrigation heads. Oh joy…
Yep. I and likely others probably find out more about legislation or other stuff impacting us as inspectors from other org’s emails than Nachi. I’ve asked about this… as Nachi has a HUGE number of Cali inspectors.
It seems like the only time InterNACHI communicates with California inspectors is to brag about how many members there are. Actually representing us or at least helping to provide clarity on how we should proceed with some of these new laws would be much more helpful.
