Home inspection app for Chicago, IL inspectors

Chicago's brick two-flats and older housing stock mean inspectors spend real time in basements and on roofs documenting moisture and weather exposure. InspectPro Solo tags each photo to the item it documents, records severity, and produces a branded PDF report from your phone — offline when a below-grade unit has no signal.

Free 15-day trial, then US$39/month. No credit card required.

Buyers and their agents want to know how serious each finding is. Rate every item minor, moderate, major, or critical, back it with tagged photos, and deliver a branded PDF under your own letterhead — a clear record for negotiations on a two-flat or single-family sale.

What inspectors commonly document in Chicago, IL

• Moisture and water intrusion in basements — capture photos and severity for each affected area.

Chicago’s housing stock, from an inspector’s side

The bungalow belt gives Chicago one of America's most recognizable housing patterns — mile after mile of 1910s and 1920s brick bungalows arcing around the city, joined by greystones and frame workers cottages closer in. Low-slope roofs are common to all three types, and lake-effect winters grind on every lintel, sill, and mortar joint through months of snow and thaw. Item checklists keep those era-specific inspection points on the list at every address, and photo-first capture ties each spalled brick or rusted lintel to the exact item it documents, so the buyer knows precisely which elevation you mean. When a single day runs bungalow to greystone to courtyard building, that structure is what keeps three reports from blurring into one another.
