How Plumbline works
Four screens, one finished report.
This is the entire workflow. Not a feature list — the actual sequence, from opening the app on a driveway to emailing a report that a lawyer could read.
STEP 1 OF 4
Walk the house, not the software
Ten systems, forty components, ordered the way you actually move through a building — roof down, outside in. Every component starts marked inspected, no deficiency.
That is the whole design philosophy. You are not filling in a form. You are recording the handful of things that are wrong, and the software already knows what the rest of the report should say.
40 of 40 components recorded
Work top down: roof, exterior, structure, then mechanicals.
STEP 2 OF 4
Tap a defect, get a paragraph
208 defects on file, weighted to what actually goes wrong: aluminum branch wiring, knob and tube, Poly-B, Kitec, Stab-Lok panels, ice damming, frost-heaved footings, bath fans venting into attics, buried oil tanks, vermiculite.
One tap writes three things — what was observed, why it matters, and what to do about it. Editable before it goes in. You are never composing prose on a ladder.
The items marked INSURANCE are the conditions that get policies refused. They collect onto their own page for the client to send their broker.
STEP 3 OF 4
The report is a file, not a portal
Findings sort themselves by severity. One tap produces the full report; another produces the repair request addendum — the numbered one-pager the buyer's agent uses in the amendment, with a blank column for what they are asking for.
Both are single self-contained files. No client login, no hosted link to expire, nothing that stops working the month you stop paying someone. Your client can open it in fifteen years.

It speaks your jurisdiction
Six packs. Switching one changes the authorities, codes, thresholds, units, certifications and the spelling — throughout the library and the agreement.
A US report says mold, cites the EPA at 4 pCi/L and NFPA 211, and recommends a licensed electrician. An Ontario one says mould, Health Canada at 200 Bq/m³, CSA B365, and a licensed electrician (ECRA/ESA).
Your company name, logo and colours sit on every page. Nothing anywhere says our name.
United States
Home inspection is licensed at state level in most of the US. This pack uses the InterNACHI Standards of Practice; if your state mandates its own, switch it in Report settings.
The part nobody else does
It works with no signal. Actually.
Not "offline mode". The entire application is one file sitting on your phone. Attics, crawlspaces, rural properties an hour outside town, a basement with three feet of concrete overhead — it does not care, because it was never talking to anything.
Your licence is verified on the device by cryptography rather than by calling a server, so even activation works with no bars. There is no company whose outage can cost you a morning's work, and nothing that can switch off mid-inspection.
Inspections are stored on your own device and never uploaded. On the perpetual licence, no client data leaves your phone at all.
The trial is the whole application.
No clock, no card, no locked features. Run a real inspection and read every page of the report before you spend anything. Then $499, once, and it is yours.
