We do most of our own property inspection except for A/C, plumbing, and electrical. This is what I have on me or in my car. Most of these things you can actually carry on a duty belt. And by the way–Always tell someone where you are going and when.
-
Mace (for dogs and people)
-
Tape measure
-
Flashlight
-
Digital camera
-
Step stool (for checking breakers, electrical, cracks, etc.)
-
Ladder (a sliding ladder, so it can also be used for the attic)
-
Roll up kindergarten sleep mat (for laying under a house, plumbing, pier & beam foundation)
-
Long handle screwdriver with different bits in the handle (for prying up carpet and checking for wood rot)
-
Moth balls (As soon as you get there, throw a few moth balls under the house to keep the varmints away from the entry.)
-
A working phone for voice recording notes and to call in case of some type of emergency.
