Traditional home inspections often rely on subjective observations rather than precise data. For example, floor elevation surveys—critical for identifying uneven settlement—are not typically performed, leaving inspectors to rely on feel, which can vary greatly. Horizontal cracking is rarely measured in total length, even though the extent of cracking significantly impacts repair costs. Groundwater conditions are another area where most inspectors lack the tools or expertise to diagnose accurately.

Additionally, there’s no central database of vertical cracking patterns by region or property age to provide context for what’s normal versus concerning. Many of these critical factors are simply not part of the standard inspection process, yet they are key to understanding whether a home’s condition involves expensive repairs or typical, non-alarming issues.

By combining the observations and pictures from a home inspection with our specialized data and expertise, we help provide a more complete, informed picture of a home’s condition, giving buyers and agents the clarity they need.

It depends. In some cases, our data provides enough clarity to determine that the risk is low, making on-site inspections unnecessary. Other times, the data may reveal significant risks or potential costs, requiring buyers to decide if they’re comfortable proceeding with those considerations. In some scenarios, the data helps establish an upper limit of potential costs, which can guide decision-making without an on-site visit. However, there are situations where on-site data gathering is essential to fully understand the property’s condition.

There are three approaches to on-site needs. For one, uyers or agents can gather data themselves by taking pictures or videos and sharing them with us for review. Two, for some specific issues, a quick on-site check—such as a floor elevation survey—can sometimes suffice without requiring a full report. Third, In more complex cases, a comprehensive on-site inspection may be required and there is no getting around it. If we’re unable to perform it directly, we can refer a qualified company to assist. The need for on-site inspections varies by case, and our goal is to provide the best solution tailored to each situation.

The data we provide is completely objective and speaks for itself. It’s not designed to sway buyers in any specific direction. Instead, it enhances the knowledge base regarding the conditions of a house, empowering informed decision-making. In some cases, our data may shed light on conditions such as foundation settlement, horizontal cracking, or groundwater issues that are more common in certain regions and could potentially be costly to address. The data also establishes a baseline or “par for the course” for the region, helping to contextualize conditions relative to the local area. Real estate is inherently relative—factors like location, price range, and geographical constraints all play a role. By understanding what’s typical for a given area, buyers can better interpret whether observed conditions are cause for concern or just normal for that location. Ultimately, this data isn’t about being good or bad—it’s about offering greater clarity and understanding. By providing objective results, it helps buyers make well-informed decisions that are in the best interest of everyone involved.
