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.

  • Homebuyers comparing several properties.
  • Owners organizing maintenance observations.
  • Agents and investors preparing questions for inspectors and contractors.

What the workflow includes

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

  • Capture a clear overview and close-up for each concern.
  • Record the room or exterior location and relevant context.
  • Review observations, uncertainty, and suggested professional follow-up.
  • Export a preliminary property condition report.

Important limits

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

  • No concealed-condition detection or destructive testing.
  • No confirmation of cause, severity, code compliance, or safety.
  • No binding contractor quote, appraisal, or professional inspection.
