As more and more home sellers, buyers, and real estate professionals employ inspectors in order to comply with disclosure laws and avoid legal liability issues, the demand for trained home inspectors is booming. With checklists and a new “Reporting Guidelines,” this comprehensive training manual is the cornerstone of any home inspection curriculum.

Topics include establishing a business, the inspection report, soils and foundations, wood and construction, roofing, plumbing, electricity, heating and ventilation, air conditioning, appliances, swimming pools and spas, termites and wood-destroying insects, and environmental considerations.
