Phone and power
Your phone is the main evidence tool, so start with a charged battery, enough free storage and a power bank. Clean the camera lens before starting.
Floor plan
Bring the floor plan as an image, PDF or printed reference. In Wefect, the plan can also be used to establish rooms and place numbered defect locations.
Flashlight
A compact flashlight helps with darker corners, under-sink areas and visible service spaces that can be inspected safely without entering restricted areas.
Tile tapping tool or coin
A light, consistent tapping tool helps compare neighbouring tiles. Use it gently and avoid causing damage.
Socket tester
A suitable consumer socket tester can support basic outlet checks when used according to the device instructions. It does not replace professional electrical testing.
What not to bring into DIY scope
Do not use the inspection as a reason to open electrical panels, dismantle fixtures, climb into unsafe areas or perform tests beyond your skill level.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need expensive inspection equipment?
Not for the basic Wefect homeowner workflow. Start with safe, simple tools that support the checks you understand.
Can I inspect with only my phone?
You can document many visible issues with a phone, but certain checks such as tile tapping or socket testing require appropriate tools.
