Product Review for Olympus Tough TG-6 Waterproof Camera - used underwater in Gulf of Mexico

As an inspector, Matt is using his camera daily to take hundreds of pictures! The Olympus Tough TG-6 Waterproof Camera is the recommendation the Helpful Home Inspector stands by as a durable, high quality product. We are not sponsored by Olympus; just sharing high quality products we use daily. Being in all the elements like rain and snow, having a waterproof camera is a necessity. We even tested the camera underwater to see coral reefs in the Gulf of Mexico and a few clips are shared in the video. Remember the better you take care of your house, the better it will take care of you!

What if you find water intrusion onsite during an inspection?

While onsite at an inspection today, the Helpful Home Inspector found some solid evidence of water intrusion around the windows. As the buyer, you need to weigh the cost of repair versus walking away? As the seller, do you make the repair or sell as is?  Inspectors job is to report findings not offer advice. Just know when findings problems, buyers and sellers can negotiate. Remember the better you take care of your home, the better it will take care of you!
