💡 Quick tip: Click on the video above to expand it in another window.

  1. Click on the inspection to access the Inspection Details page

  2. Click on the address underneath the date and time in the upper left

  3. A window will pop up where you can change any parts of the address, as well as adjust details about the property including: - Year Built - Square Feet - Lot Size - Foundation - Bedrooms - Bathrooms - Parking - Latitude - Longitude

  4. Click "Save"

  5. Note: For special forms (e.g., Florida 4-Point, Wind Mitigation), you may need to create a copy of the report for the updated address to display.

After saving, you may be prompted to recalculate any pricing modifiers for the service(s) on the inspection and/or update the agreements with the new information. You can press the Dismiss button in the upper right corner of the orange banner if you do not want to take these actions. Additionally, if the updated address does not reflect in your report, use the "Force Payload Rebuild" option in the report editor to ensure the changes are applied.


Frequently Asked Questions

  • I changed the address on my inspection but it didn't change on my report. If your report is a special form like the Florida 4-Point, Wind Mitigation, TREC REI 7-6, NPMA-33, etc.; you may need to create a copy of the report to see the updated address. If it is not a special form, please reach out to Spectora support.

  • Why doesn’t the updated address reflect in my report? Ensure you’ve used the "Force Payload Rebuild" option after updating the address. For Wind Mitigation forms, manually update the address comment in the web editor under General Information > Information.
