How to Read Photo-Supported Inspection Findings
A useful report explains what was visible, where it was found and why the observation matters. Start with higher-priority items, then read the photographs and supporting descriptions together. If a condition is uncertain, ask what additional investigation would help.
Find a more detailed explanation in our report-reading resource and compare the format on the sample report page.

Building Systems, Moisture and Maintenance
Exterior water management, visible roof wear, plumbing condition and ventilation can all affect a property's performance. An inspection may identify visible concerns, but it does not replace routine maintenance or specialized testing.
Tools such as moisture meters and thermal cameras can help investigate particular patterns, but findings still require professional interpretation.
See thermal imaging and moisture detection for how these tools support visual inspection.
