8. What Type Of Equipment Will Be Used?  

Many Home Inspectors bring nothing more to the Inspection than a flashlight. Today’s
Home Inspector should be taking advantage of some of the newer technologies and
utilizing the best testing equipment available. This equipment is delicate and can be very
expensive, but in order to stay on "the cutting edge" and provide the best service
possible, it is a necessary investment. Proper equipment should range from the more
sophisticated testing devices (electrical circuit analyzers, electronic carbon monoxide &
fuel gas analyzers, digital moisture meters, digital cameras to document findings, etc.), all
the way down to the more mundane but necessary equipment, such as ladders,
flashlights, levels, etc.
