Allied Business Schools

Home Inspection

The demand for qualified home inspectors is huge and growing larger every day. Real estate inspection is a technical and complex field that demands a professional approach. Home inspectors perform objective visual inspections of homes and produce a written report of the condition of the property for buyers and/or owners. The home inspector must be able to recognize any condition that could cause problems for the potential home owner. Home inspectors need extensive knowledge in many areas of residential construction such as: soils and foundations, wood and construction, roofing, plumbing, electricity, heating and ventilation, air conditioning and heat pumps, appliances, swimming pools and spas, termites and wood-destroying insects and environmental considerations.

Allied's home inspection course is available online or through traditional correspondence. The textbook used in Allied's course is one of the most comprehensive texts available. It covers the inspection process from start to finish (including quizzes at the end of each chapter, an inspection checklist for each topic and a glossary). This book can be used as an inspector's guide in the field. In addition, Allied's course provides supplemental reading which will reveal dozens of special techniques used by professional home inspectors, what they look for and the inspection methods they use.
