Built so your clients never have to wonder who sees their inspection results.
A complete inspection platform built so your clients’ data stays between you and them.
Your findings and narratives are sealed on your device before reaching our servers. We can’t read them, sell them, or offer them to lenders, insurers, or anyone else. Photos are kept separate and encrypted at rest. You get scheduling, offline field capture, report writing, signed delivery to your client, and invoicing — without giving up control of your work.

We can’t sell your reports because we can’t read them.
Most inspection platforms store your reports on their servers in plain text. That data — condition findings, photos, repair estimates — can be packaged and sold to insurance companies and mortgage lenders. Your client’s inspection becomes a pricing signal used against them, and your name is on every page.
Home Inspection Vault is built differently. Report content is sealed on your device before it ever reaches our servers. We can see that a report exists, but we can never read what’s inside. There’s nothing to sell — not today, not if the company changes hands tomorrow.
Sealed before it leaves your hands
Findings and narratives are locked on your device before upload. Our servers store the sealed package — they never see the contents. Photos are stored at opaque object keys under encryption at rest, but separate from the report they describe. No employee, no hacker, no subpoena can produce a finding or narrative we don’t have.
You always keep your copy
Many states require inspectors to retain reports for years. As long as you keep your recovery phrase, you hold the key, so you always have full access to your own work — for compliance, for E&O defense, or simply because a past client asks for a second copy. Your records travel with you, not with us.
Confidentiality by design
State licensing boards and standards of practice require that inspection results stay between you and your client. When your platform can’t read the report, that confidentiality isn’t a policy — it’s a structural guarantee your clients can verify.
There’s a quiet consolidation happening in home inspection software.
Large corporations are acquiring the platforms inspectors rely on every day. The goal isn’t better software — it’s the data. Every report you write contains property condition findings, defect details, photos, repair estimates, client contact information, and property addresses. Aggregated across thousands of inspectors, that data becomes enormously valuable to insurance companies, mortgage lenders, and home warranty providers.
Once a platform is acquired, the new owner can use that data to adjust insurance premiums, influence lending decisions, and target homeowners with marketing — all without the inspector or their client ever being asked. Your name is on every report, and your clients trusted you with that information.
Many states require confidentiality between inspectors and their clients as a condition of licensure. When your platform stores reports in plain text on their servers, that confidentiality depends entirely on a corporate privacy policy that can change with a single acquisition. Inspectors also have legal obligations to retain reports for years — but if the platform controls access, your records are only as available as their business decisions allow.

Home Inspection Vault exists because we believe this is wrong. Your findings and narratives are sealed on your device before reaching our servers — we can’t read them, we can’t sell them, and no future acquirer can either. Your clients’ inspection content stays between you and them, structurally, not just by promise.
Four steps. One continuous thread.
Every job moves from your calendar to a delivered report and a paid invoice without leaving the Vault — no re-typing, no exporting, no lost photos.
Add the job in a minute: client, address, inspection type and fee. It lands on your calendar and your Today view.
Walk the property with the mobile field tool. Capture findings and photos with no signal; findings stay encrypted on your phone and photos upload when you're back online.
Findings flow straight into the report editor. Insert your canned comments on-site, so most of the wording is written before you leave the driveway.
your client
Sign and send the report to your client's account; they can download a PDF made on their own device. Then invoice the job and track it until it's paid.
A report your client can actually understand and will appreciate.
Your client opens the report in their own account: every finding with its severity and photos, checked against your signature before anything is shown. They can download a PDF that’s made on their own device.
- Signed by you, checked by your client’s browser
- Per-finding photos and severity ratings
- A PDF made on your client’s own device
