The camera should be the inspector’s best friend- Wenatchee Home Inspection Services
As home inspectors we all have our way, our method of how we do inspections.
I am a camera guy and find it my most indispensible tool.
On average I take 300 to 400 pictures of a home when I am inspecting it. It is my notebook, my eyes where I cannot go and a photo documentation of where I have been.
When I get home from an inspection I go through each and every one of those photos and give them look over. I re-live the inspection another time gather my thoughts and put together my report.
This is not the quickest way to do a report but speed is not the end result I am trying to achieve. I trying to give my clients the very best inspection I can do every time.
This method will not be for everyone but it works for me.
All too often I get home and find items that I either did not see or could not see when I was on site.
I tell my clients I always reserve the right “to write” when I get home. That means when I get home I will review the inspection again and there may be items I forgot to talk about on site or that I discovered during my photo review or I am able to complete a hypothesis that I may have not when at the home.
So here is to being a happy snapper ; )
