Services
Home Inspections
Our home inspections evaluate single-family homes, condominiums, and townhomes for structural integrity, system functionality, and potential defects. We use thermal imaging to detect hidden issues like moisture intrusion or electrical problems. Clients receive detailed reports with photos and repair recommendations to support informed purchasing decisions.
Commercial Inspections
Commercial inspections cover office spaces, warehouses, and industrial properties with specialized evaluations of structural, mechanical, and safety systems. Our InterNACHI-certified commercial inspectors use drones for roof assessments and thermal imaging to identify energy inefficiencies, ensuring compliance with industry standards and investment security.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging detects temperature variations to identify moisture damage, electrical faults, and insulation gaps invisible to the naked eye. This non-invasive technology provides actionable insights during residential and commercial inspections, helping prevent costly repairs and improve energy efficiency.
Drone Roof Inspections
Drone inspections safely assess roofs, chimneys, and elevated structures for damage or wear without physical access. High-resolution imagery captures details missed during ground-level evaluations, ensuring comprehensive reporting for residential and commercial properties in San Diego County.
New Construction Inspections
New construction inspections verify proper installation of systems and components during building phases. We identify manufacturer defects, code violations, or workmanship issues before final walkthroughs, ensuring homes meet quality standards for buyers and builders.
