Home Inspection

Inspectors are needed across the industry of home construction and remodeling. Home inspectors are needed to assess whether a building is structurally sound and safe for inhabitants. They are needed at intervals during construction of homes, public works and buildings to inspect soil condition, adherence to safety rules and workers' rights regulations. Inspectors are needed for electrical systems, elevators, amusement rides, parks and playgrounds, plumbing and sewer systems, household machines and all kinds of structures.

Training in Home Inspection

Before enrolling in home inspection degree programs, you must have a high school diploma. Many home inspectors take training at community colleges to learn the systems which keep residents safe: fire sprinklers, smoke detectors, and fire exits. Certification is important in home inspection programs, and home inspectors should earn a Residential Building Inspector license, or the Certified Building Official certification.

Careers in Home Inspection

Home inspectors must approve condominiums, town homes, commercial buildings and new homes before they can be put on the market. Home inspectors are an essential part of the real estate process, usually hired by prospective buyers to make sure all is as it should be. They may inspect all areas of the home, including the roof, garage, and foundation, as well as look into plumbing, electrical and heating or air conditioning systems. Most building inspectors earn between $25,000 and $65,000, proving that with additional training, experience and education there is room for upward mobility.
