InspectDayBlog
Guides for home inspectors, from findings on site to the published report.
Product updates. What changed in InspectDay on the web and the phone app, from October 2026.
- Home inspection app
Walk the inspection item by item, record findings, add photos and video, and publish from the phone.
- How to write a home inspection report
A finding the client can act on says what is wrong, where it is, how serious it is, and what to do next. Record each part on the item in InspectDay.
- Mold inspector certification
IAC2 and ACAC certify mold inspectors, but an IAC2 designation does not ensure you meet state licensing rules, and in Texas, Florida and New York a state license governs mold assessment.
- Thermal camera for home inspection
A thermal camera can show where insulation is inadequate or missing, but ASTM says an image alone does not prove it, and ASHI's 2026 standard, approved and not yet in force, does not require the inspector to use one.
- Commercial property inspector
A commercial property inspection is a visual survey of a building's condition, written to a standard for commercial property; check your state's rules before you take one.
- Home inspector insurance
Find your state's insurance or bond rule, as its license page states it.
- Home inspector tools and equipment
InterNACHI's standard names a GFCI tester and an AFCI test button, and says the inspector is not required to operate moisture meters or gas detectors.
- Wind mitigation certification
A home inspector is listed to sign Florida's uniform mitigation form only with hurricane mitigation training, and Florida requires insurers to accept the form as valid when a listed inspector signs it.
- Radon certification
Some states license or certify radon testers themselves, and two national programs, NRPP and NRSB, certify them as well.
- Starting a home inspection business
Set up the entity and EIN, check your state's license and insurance, and write a plan.
- Home inspection drone
The FAA lists roof inspections among non-recreational Part 107 operations, and InterNACHI's standard says the inspector is not required to walk on any roof surface.
- Home inspection marketing
A published report can be shared by link or email, and referral, review and advertising rules limit the rest of your marketing.
