Red, Yellow, Green Electrical Inspection Reports Explained
How our color-coded inspection reports help property managers and homeowners prioritize action.
Short answer
Red items are safety issues that need immediate action. Yellow items should be addressed soon. Green items are within tolerance and need no action.
Why a color-coded format
Decision-makers don't have time to read 20-page reports. Color coding makes prioritization obvious.
How to use a report
Address red items first. Schedule yellow items into the next maintenance cycle. Document green items for next year's comparison.
FAQ
Do you provide photos?
Yes — every flagged item is photographed and labeled.
