Four severity levels, defined the same way on every report — so "repair" always means repair, and nothing hides in a wall of text.

02 / Evidence
The report is the product.
Most inspectors show you a brochure. We show you the actual deliverable — a real (anonymized) report from a 1994 ranch in Westerville, severity codes and all. If our reporting doesn't earn your booking, nothing else should.
- Safety A hazard to people. Fix before or immediately after move-in.
- Repair A material defect. Budget for it or negotiate it — soon, not someday.
- Monitor Not broken yet. Watch it, maintain it, re-check it seasonally.
- Info Worth knowing — an upgrade to consider or a note for your records.

05 / For agents
140+ agents refer us — because we're nobody's deal-killer and nobody's rubber stamp.
Same-day reports your repair request can quote directly, a dedicated agent line, calm on-site walkthroughs for your clients — and zero solicitation of your buyer, ever.
“As a listing agent, a Datum report on the other side of the table is honestly good news — no inflammatory language, no 'potential' this and 'possible' that. Findings, evidence, cost context. Deals survive contact with their reports.”

“Evan found a double-tapped breaker and a bath fan blowing into the attic — then talked me off the ledge about both. The report told me what mattered, what it might cost, and what was just an old house being an old house. We negotiated $4,200 off with his summary page, unedited.”
-
★★★★★
“I send every client here and I've never once regretted it. Datum describes, they don't dramatize — my buyers come out of the walkthrough informed instead of terrified, and the one-page summary drops straight into my repair request. The agent line actually gets answered.”
-
★★★★☆
“Fair warning: the report is LONG. Fifty-eight pages for our 1970s split-level, and it took us a full evening to get through. But nothing in it was padding, and the free follow-up call answered every question. Docked a star only because the spring calendar was tight — we had to wait five days for a slot.”
