WDI Report: What Does Inaccessible Area Mean?
NPMA says WDI inspectors list the areas they could not access, like blocked walls, stored items, or ceilings. If you buy, sell, or list homes in Wichita or Overland Park, here is what that line means.
Quick Answers
It is a list of spots the inspector could not see or reach.
Stored items, blocked walls, and ceilings are common reasons.
The report only covers what the inspector could see.
Why are some areas inaccessible?
NPMA says inspectors note areas they could not reach, such as obstructed walls, stored items, or ceilings. The report uses a numbered key or a written description. Other blocked spots go under "Other" or in the comments.
What can sellers and agents do?
Move stored items away from basement, garage, and closet walls.
Make sure attic hatches and crawl space doors open.
Unlock any doors the inspector needs.
Tell the inspector about any spots you know are hard to reach.
Book the inspection early so there is time to fix blocked areas.
Does inaccessible mean there is a problem?
No. It means the inspector could not see that spot. NPMA says findings cover only visible evidence, and hidden damage may exist even when it is not visible. Clearing the way gives everyone a clearer picture.
Common Questions
Who decides what is inaccessible?
The inspector. NPMA says inspectors list the areas they could not access on the report.
Does a blocked area mean termites?
No. It means the spot could not be checked. Clear access gives a fuller answer.
