The written report will not substitute for Client's personal presence during the inspection. It is virtually impossible to fully profile any building with any reporting system. Unless Client attends and participates in the inspection process itself, the Client will have no chance of gaining all of the information that is offered.    Integrity Inspection Service reserves the right to mail or fax or email an amended report or specific pages of the report within 72 Hours of the Inspection.
