​Ruth’s Home Inspection Services’ Protective Actions During COVID-19
During the very important and ever-changing directives from the Center for Disease Control and the government, Ruth’s Home Inspection Services has developed a company policy to support the CDC guidelines.  The safety of our community, our clients and their families, and the occupants of the homes we inspect is paramount to us.  Ruth’s Home Inspection Services practices are intended to prevent the transmission of this virus and we ask all of those involved in the transaction to also commit to the following protocols and procedures when a home inspection is being performed. 
 
We at Ruth’s Home Inspection Services are continually monitoring the directives of the CDC and state officials.  We will alter our protocol as needed.
 
Ruth’s Home Inspection Services Protocols and Procedures to Combat the Spread of COVID-19

1. Ruth’s Home Inspection Services ask clients, if at all possible, not to attend the inspection in order to minimize risk of cross contamination.  Arrival at the end of the inspection is encouraged, where we can discuss the findings outside the home.  Another great alternative is a video meeting to discuss the inspection findings.
2. Please do not bring additional people to the inspection, this includes children, contractors, relatives, friends, and others who are not directly involved in the transaction.
3. We at Ruth’s Home Inspection Services will not shake hands, bump fists or touch elbows to support social distancing guidelines of maintaining six-foot distance from others.
4. If anyone involved in the transaction is experiencing a fever or cough, do not attend the inspection.
5. If the inspector of Ruth’s Home Inspection Services is experiencing a fever or cough, we will reschedule the inspection, or you may choose another inspection service.
6. Before and after the inspection, the inspector will use hand sanitizer to disinfect our hands as per the CDC guidelines.  Additionally, we will wash our hands at every sink location for a minimum of 20 seconds, as per CDC guidelines.  We will bring our own antibacterial soap and hand towels for this purpose.  We will use sanitizing wipes on faucets and toilet handles.  Also, we will refrain from touching our face during the inspection as per CDC guidelines.
7. Ruth’s Home Inspection Services will use our own sanitized footwear during the interior inspection.
8. Before all inspections, Ruth’s Home Inspection Services will sanitize our mobile devices and tools.
9. At the request of the homeowner, we are happy to wear masks during the inspection.  However, according to CDC guidelines, frequent washing of hands and refraining from touching our face is the best method of preventing the spread of COVID-19.
10. Ruth’s Home Inspection Services will refrain from touching any item that is not directly included in the inspection process.

 
Thank you, we wish you and your loved ones health and safety during these unprecedented times.  Let’s work together to combat this pandemic and flatten the curve.
 
Sincerely,
David Ruth

  MY PROMISE TO YOU
 Choosing the right home inspector can be difficult.  Unlike most professionals you hire, you probably won't meet me until your inspection appointment-after you've hired me.  Furthermore, different inspectors have varying qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods and pricing.  One thing that is certain, is that a home inspection requires a lot of work, ultimately, a thorough inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector's effort.  If you honor me by letting me inspect your new home, I guarantee that I will give you my very best effort.  This I promise you.
