Did They Fix the Problem… or Just Hide It?

The contractor says, “It’s fixed.” But did they repair the root cause or simply paint over the water stain? Did they replace the damaged plaster or just apply putty to hide the crack?

Unfortunately, cosmetic cover-ups can make defects look “fixed” while the real problem remains hidden beneath the surface. Weeks or months later, the crack reappears, the paint starts peeling, or the leak returns. As a homeowner, how can you be sure the repair was done properly?

With Defix Inspection, every reported defect is backed by clear visual evidence. During the initial inspection, your inspector captures detailed “Before” photos of every defect. Once the contractor completes the rectification, they upload “After” photos through Defix’s secure portal.

Your inspector can then compare both images side by side to verify:
✅ The correct defect was repaired
✅ The repair meets the expected standard
✅ No cosmetic shortcuts were taken
✅ Photo evidence is available for future reference

This creates a transparent record of every repair and helps ensure that defects are genuinely resolved—not simply covered up. A proper repair should solve the problem, not just make it look better.

With Defix Inspection, you don’t have to rely on promises alone. Every rectification can be verified with before-and-after photo evidence, giving you greater confidence that your home has been repaired correctly.

Because when it comes to your home, “looking fixed” isn’t the same as being fixed.
