Home Service Plans
The report your home doesn't have
Most homes have no maintenance record at all. Every FDNS plan visit ends with a written photo report — here's exactly what's in one, and why the stack gets more valuable every quarter.
What every report contains
Visit summary
The date, who was on site, your plan tier, and the seasonal focus of the visit (a spring visit reads differently than a pre-winter one). One paragraph, plain language.
What we inspected
The checklist for your home, area by area — water & plumbing, heating & cooling, exterior & structure, safety & interior — each item marked checked-OK, attention suggested, or fixed during visit.
Dated photos
Photographs of each inspected area, taken that day, timestamped. Over consecutive quarters these become a time-lapse of your home's condition — the water heater in March vs. the same unit in November.
Fixed during this visit
The small preventative work handled on the spot under your plan — filters, detector batteries, caulk, hardware — with any parts itemized at cost.
Watch items & recommendations
Anything developing that doesn't need action yet, plus anything that does — each recommendation with a written quote if you want it handled, member discount applied. Nothing proceeds without your approval.
Reports are delivered to your account after each visit and stay there — your full history in one place, not an email you have to find three years later.
Why a paper trail is the real product
The visits keep your home healthy. The reports are what you can prove:
- ·At claim time. Home warranties and homeowners insurance can push back on claims by citing lack of maintenance or wear and tear — and the burden of proof sits with you. Dated inspection reports and photographs are precisely the evidence that answers it. More on protecting your warranty →
- ·At resale.A buyer weighing two similar homes will trust the one with a quarterly, photographed maintenance history. It answers the inspection report before it's written.
- ·For your own decisions. “Watch items” tracked across quarters turn surprise failures into planned, budgeted projects.
