My Home Inspect school advised me to only note that the smoke alarms
are in the correct locations. They advised us not to check if they were
working…they said that it would be up to somebody certified ( some type of
fire code training) in that field.
Example: fire in premis, Home inspector says he tested the device as working.
Investigation proves that the unit did not function. Here comes a lawsuit.
Im looking for feedback on this issue:
What should we as Home Inspectors do as far as smoke alarms are
concerned ?
