Talk:Home inspection

message: I have read all the topics disused. I do agree with bfunchess. 
I do think that you should take a hard look at NACHI. It is not in the same category as the other sites you mention in your external links. There are a few other associations that should be added. I would like to offer some good associated articles to add to this wiki if you are interested. 
The reason the American Home Inspector Directory was created is to embrace members of all associations. Many of the associations have similar rules ethics and continuing education requirements. If you are going to add link to any associations you should include the American Home Inspector Directory.
Second opinion: I think at least NACHI and ASHI should be added, as they are the two largest national associations.  There are so many state associations that it's probably not worth keeping a directory of them together.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.46.186.188 (talk) 13:24, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Home Inspectors (in the US, it may be different in other countries) typically work as independent contractors for the home buyer. The buyer pays for the inspection, and the inspector essentially acts as a knowledgeable proxy for the buyer to examine things a buyer might not think to check for of or might not have the equipment to analyze (like, say, a water pressure gauge). There are a few home inspection companies that employ multiple inspectors and also some nationally-advertised "franchise" shops, but for the most part they're owner/operator, family, or partnership types of organizations with three or fewer inspectors. 173.196.56.2 (talk) 01:08, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

message: The PDI disambiguation page says "Pre-Delivery Inspection, an inspection performed on a car, home, or other item to be sold" and the link redirects to this.  Predelivery inspection is carried out on all sorts of products: the term is a more general one and I'm not sure the redirect should stand.  Thoughts? --Romana (talk) 14:30, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I came to Wikipedia (from a Google search) specifically to learn what "pdi" meant after seeing it on an item-list for a vehicle I'm looking to purchase, and if it's something I really need to pay for.  A separate article would be nice. 76.106.251.87 (talk) 03:48, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

message: This article was tagged quite rightly for its resemblance to  in January 2010. Investigation suggests that the infringement is reversed and that the site has duplicated content from Wikipedia without acknowledgment. Although not conclusive, there is no archived version of that website, which suggests it may be recent. More tellingly, there is evidence of natural evolution within the article. Take, for instance, the following edits, which display incremental changes to the material: , , . The external website uses the later language. 
Much of the material at that external site was added in this edit. However, it, too, underwent further revision, with the later language being reflected in the external site (; ).
Contributors to the article interested in addressing this unattributed duplication, which is a violation of Wikipedia's terms of reuse, may wish to see Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks for some suggestions for requesting credit. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:32, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
