Snowy home inspection in Springfield Ohio

Today I had a home inspection in Springfield Ohio. It was a snowy day and as a result the roof was able to the walked on. It was an old two story home with a tall attic so the upper roof was quite high. Too risky to even try especially in icy conditions.

Situations like this is the reason why I use cameras for my home inspection that have good zoom capabilities. With the camera I can zoom in and take a close look at the flashing around the chimney and see that it was done wrong.

Snow is now here

With the arrival of the snow comes difficulty with inspecting roofs. With snow and ice walking on the roof as part of the regular home inspection becomes too dangerous.
Home buyers understand the difficulty and no one has ever expected that I risk my life climbing an icy roof. What normally happens if the roof is snow or ice covered is that I inspect what I can and then offer to walk the roof once the conditions are safer.

I did have an inspection in the morning however since it began snowing the night before the buyer asked to reschedule the inspection for the following day in the hopes that the snow conditions will be more favorable for my walking on the roof.
