Who this page is for

House Inspector is a preliminary visual decision-support tool. It helps people document what they can see, organize follow-up questions, and prepare for conversations with inspectors and contractors.

  • Buyers deciding how an app fits into due diligence.
  • Users comparing capabilities, access, and evidence.
  • Agents explaining why a professional inspection still matters.

What the workflow includes

Capture clear, well-lit photos, add property context, and review the resulting observations before treating any item as confirmed.

  • Use the app before or between visits to preserve observations.
  • Hire an inspector under a written agreement and review exclusions.
  • Arrange separate testing where the property or location warrants it.
  • Use all findings to prepare questions within contract deadlines.

Important limits

A photograph shows one angle at one moment. It cannot reveal concealed assemblies, measure system performance, test materials, or establish code compliance.

  • Neither a photo app nor a standard inspection guarantees future condition.
  • Inspection scope and licensing vary by jurisdiction.
  • Specialty systems and environmental hazards may require separate services.
