Additionally, home inspectors will command top dollar when their inspections include a thorough look into the irrigation and sprinkler systems of client properties. Our irrigation section teaches home inspectors how to inspect lawn irrigation and sprinkler systems as part of the overall home inspection process. Finally, the thermal imaging portion of the course will appeal to home inspectors who are hoping to stand out in the crowd.
