Why Photos are Critical in a Home Inspection

SHI offers 15-30 photo pages (2 photos per page) with our home inspection reports because there are some pretty good reasons why photos are critical in a professional home inspection report.
Signs of Termites
  1. Photos document serious conditions. What does a serious asbestos condition look like in a house? A picture is worth a thousand words.
  2. Photos identify technical items. Do you know what a TPR valve extension looks like? One photo does it.
  3. Photos convey valuable knowledge. When we recommend a repair, we can choose from a variety of photos and articles to outline what is needed. And, let’s face it, there is a reason why dictionaries, encyclopedias and science books contain lot of images.
Believe it or not, many home inspection companies do not offer photos with their reports. At SHI, we don’t just give cookie-cutter home reports, we give a brief but insightful education on the important aspects of your new house. Your house (whether first, second, or third) is likely one of the largest investments you will ever make. Your home inspection report should be as thorough and detailed as possible. Call SHI today for a comprehensive home inspection that includes referenced photo pages – 631 377 2046.
