Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems including structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing. We identify safety hazards, maintenance needs, and potential defects using advanced diagnostic tools. Clients receive detailed reports with digital images and clear recommendations to support informed real estate decisions.
Thermal Imaging
We utilize infrared cameras to detect hidden moisture intrusion, electrical hotspots, and insulation deficiencies. This non-invasive technology reveals temperature variations that indicate potential problems behind walls or in inaccessible areas. Our certified inspectors interpret thermal patterns to identify issues that traditional inspections might miss.
Roof Inspections
Our roof inspections examine shingles, flashing, vents, and drainage systems for signs of wear or damage. We check for proper installation, water intrusion risks, and structural integrity. Using specialized equipment, we safely access all roof types to assess condition and estimate remaining service life.
Moisture Detection
We employ moisture meters and thermal imaging to identify hidden water damage in walls, floors, and ceilings. Our inspections locate plumbing leaks, roof seepage, and condensation issues that could lead to mold growth or structural deterioration. We provide documentation of affected areas and remediation recommendations.
Electrical Inspections
We evaluate electrical panels, wiring systems, and outlets for safety compliance and proper functionality. Our inspections identify fire hazards like overloaded circuits, improper grounding, or outdated components. We test GFCI outlets, check amperage capacity, and verify proper electrical system maintenance.
