Inspections are paid a certain amount for residential and a higher amount for commercial inspections. This rate includes travel up to 70 miles one way and the inspection which should take no more that 15 minutes which is the average service call. However, there are claims that require a ladder which involves travel with a ladder (extra Gas from the weight of the ladder) and time to set up the ladder and take down the ladder and re-secure back on or in the inspectors vehicle.
In my humble opinion we should be given a ladder charge of $150.00 when we need to bring a ladder but until that happens I will simply turn down all inspections that require me to bring a ladder unless compensated properly. After all it also adds a danger factor to the job and in most areas OSHA requires two people when using a ladder over 8’
