Troubleshooting Login Issues

If you are having trouble logging in to your Customer Dashboard, find solutions in this article: Troubleshooting: Login and Access Issues.


Accessing Your Inspection Documents

Your inspection report documents are stored in report folders to keep everything organized. Each report folder displays:

  • An image of the inspected property

  • Your inspector's logo (centered)

  • Details about the property address

  • The date the report was uploaded

Opening a Report Folder to view Documents

  1. Find the report folder for the property you want to view

    Report folders show the property address and upload date.

  2. Click Inspection Details on the report folder you want to access

If You Don't See Any Reports

If no documents are listed when you click Inspection Details, your documents may not be ready yet. You should contact your inspector to check on the status if you believe documents should be available to you.

Note: You will likely need to sign the inspector's agreement and/or pay for your inspection before you can view your report.


Signing Your Inspection Agreement

Some inspectors require customers to sign an inspection agreement before viewing the report. If your inspector requires a signature, you will see a centered box that says "Signature Needed" with an orange Sign Now button.

  1. Click the orange Sign Now button

  2. Review the inspection agreement terms

  3. Sign the agreement electronically buy selecting the Agree checkbox, then typing your full name.

Paying for Your Inspection

Most inspectors require payment before you can access your inspection report. If your inspector requires payment, you will see a second step in the centered box that says "Payment Due."

If your inspector accepts payments through HomeGauge, you can click the orange Pay Now button to pay for the report securely online.

  1. Click the orange Pay Now button

  2. Enter your payment information

  3. Complete the payment process

If your inspector does not accept payments through HomeGauge, you may see a note that says, "Please contact your inspector to make a payment." Contact your inspector directly to arrange payment using their preferred method.


Viewing Your Inspection Report

Once you have completed any required signature and payment steps (or if your inspector does not require them), you can view your inspection report.

Accessing the Report

  1. Look for the property photo with an orange View Report button in the top right.

    If you see the View Report button, your report is ready to view.

  2. Click the orange View Report button to access your inspection report.

  • Thermal imaging reports

  • Radon test results

  • Other inspection-related documents

  1. Scroll down to the Reports section
