SUMMARY:Understanding Chimney Inspection
DESCRIPTION:Join in on this webinar on Thursday\, July 16\, 2026\, at 5:00 PM CT. Internal chimney scanning can reveal conditions that are not visible from readily accessible exterior areas and may provide critical insight into the safety and integrity of chimney systems. This webinar is designed to help home inspectors understand what may be seen during an internal chimney scan and how those observations can assist in identifying potentially significant defects in both masonry and factory-built chimneys. \nThe presentation will cover common internal findings such as flue damage; liner deterioration; joint failure; combustible clearance concerns; corrosion; evidence of moisture intrusion; improper modifications; and signs of heat-related damage or other distress. It will also address the differences between masonry and factory-built chimney systems so attendees can better distinguish what conditions may be characteristic of each type and why those distinctions matter. \nThe focus of this session is not to turn a general home inspector into a chimney specialist\, but to improve recognition of notable internal defects\, strengthen hazard awareness\, and support clearer reporting when potentially serious conditions are present. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of how internal chimney imaging can supplement an inspection\, what types of defects may warrant further action\, and why these findings can have important safety implications. \nPresenter: Daniel Freeman \nDate: July\, 16\, 2026\, at 5:00 PM CT \nLocation: ASHIEdge – Live Webinar \nPrice: Non Member $29 – Member FREE \nRegister by: July\, 13\, 2026 \nRegistration: Sign Up Today

SUMMARY:Certified Residential Thermographer
DESCRIPTION:Certified Residential Thermographer (CRT) – Virtual Training \nASHI Residential Thermographer Digital Badge Class \nThis comprehensive two-day\, live virtual training is led by Bill Fabian of Monroe Infrared Technologies\, a Guidant Power Inc. company\, and delivered in partnership with ASHI\, providing the full Certified Residential Thermography (CRT) curriculum. Designed for new infrared camera owners and practicing thermographers\, this class offers a complete introduction to thermal imaging and its practical application across residential and light commercial inspection environments. \nParticipants will explore the fundamentals of infrared thermography\, including heat transfer principles and the operation of thermal imaging systems. The class emphasizes real-world inspection applications in building envelope analysis\, electrical and mechanical systems\, HVAC performance\, moisture intrusion\, flat roof assessment\, and related conditions. Attendees will learn how to collect accurate thermal data and temperature readings while accounting for critical measurement variables such as emissivity\, reflectivity\, transmissivity\, and distance. \nSpecial focus is placed on understanding the conditions that make anomalies detectable\, including concepts such as evaporative cooling and thermal capacitance. Through instructor-led demonstrations\, case studies\, and application-focused exercises\, participants will develop the ability to interpret thermographic images (thermograms) and apply both qualitative and introductory quantitative analysis to support informed inspection decisions. \nThe training also addresses common challenges and errors in thermography\, helping participants distinguish between true thermal anomalies and misleading artifacts such as reflections\, indirect readings\, and environmental influences. By the end of the class\, attendees will be better prepared to confidently integrate infrared technology into their inspection services and produce clear\, accurate findings. \nThis class is suitable for individuals with no prior thermography experience\, though familiarity with basic camera operation is recommended to maximize learning outcomes. \nCredentials and Recognition\nParticipants who successfully complete all class requirements will earn the Certified Residential Thermographer (CRT) certification through Monroe Infrared Technologies\, a Guidant Power Inc. Company\, valid for three years. In addition\, participants will receive the ASHI Residential Thermographer Digital Badge\, recognizing their ability to apply infrared thermography principles in residential inspection practice. \nClass Objectives: By the end of this class\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain the fundamental principles of infrared thermography and heat transfer as they apply to building systems\nApply key measurement concepts (emissivity\, reflectivity\, transmissivity\, and distance) to improve accuracy in thermal imaging\nIdentify conditions that make anomalies detectable\, including moisture-related effects such as evaporative cooling and thermal capacitance\nDemonstrate proper techniques for collecting reliable thermal images and temperature data using an infrared camera\nInterpret thermographic images to assess conditions in building envelope\, electrical\, mechanical\, and HVAC systems\nEvaluate common sources of error in thermography and apply strategies to avoid misinterpretation\n\nDuration: 16 Hours \nPlease note: The virtual class has a final exam\, which must be completed for CE credit.

SUMMARY:How to Get Mentioned in ChatGPT in Searches
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, June 18\, 2026\, at 5:00 PM CT to hear about the way people find businesses is shifting. Instead of scrolling a list of links\, more and more home buyers and real estate agents now ask tools like ChatGPT\, “Who’s the best home inspector near me?” or “Which inspection company should I hire?” Then they act on whatever answers the AI gives them. If your inspection business isn’t named in that answer\, you are effectively invisible to a fast-growing source of referrals. \nThis webinar introduces Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): the discipline of structuring your online presence so that AI chatbots recognize\, trust\, and recommend your business. Attendees will learn how ChatGPT actually decides which inspectors to mention\, how GEO differs from traditional SEO\, and the concrete steps an inspection business can take this month to improve its odds of being recommended. The session ends with time for questions\, and every attendee leaves with a one-page take-home checklist. \nPresenter: Fabio Beneti Costa \nDate: June 18\, 2026\, at 5:00 PM CT \nLocation: ASHIEdge – Live Webinar \nPrice: Non Member $29 – Member FREE \nRegister by: June 18\, 2026 \nRegistration: Sign Up Today

SUMMARY:PFAS: What Home Inspectors Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)\, known as “forever chemicals\,” are a class of man-made compounds that persist indefinitely in the environment. They contaminate drinking water and soil\, move through groundwater\, and accumulate in the human body over time. \nThe EPA estimates that nearly half of all U.S. tap water systems contain PFAS\, and studies show that over 97% of Americans have PFAS in their blood. Exposure has been linked to kidney and testicular cancers\, birth defects\, thyroid disorders\, liver damage\, and high cholesterol. \nFor homeowners\, the presence of PFAS can impact property value\, water safety\, and long-term health — creating new environmental and liability considerations in the home inspection and real estate markets. \nThis course gives home inspectors a science-based understanding of PFAS contamination\, testing\, regulation\, remediation\, and the business opportunities associated with offering PFAS testing. \nLearning Objectives\n·        Define PFAS and explain how these chemicals persist and spread in water and soil. \n·        Identify the main sources and exposure pathways for residential contamination. \n·        Understand the current EPA and state-level regulations affecting water testing and disclosure. \n·        Recognize the health and financial implications of PFAS contamination for homeowners and buyers. \n·        Discuss testing and remediation options for water and soil contamination. \n·        Communicate PFAS findings responsibly within the scope of a home inspection. \nPresenter: Cassie Hallberg \nDate: April 21\, 2026\, at 5:00 PM CT \nLocation: ASHIEdge – Live Webinar \nPrice: Non Member $29 – Member FREE \nRegister by: April 20\, 2026 \nRegistration: Sign Up Today \n
