Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and structural components. Using thermal imaging and moisture meters, we identify hidden issues that could affect property value. Reports include digital photos and Repair Pricer estimates for identified deficiencies, delivered within 24 hours to support timely real estate decisions.
Thermal Imaging
Infrared thermography detects temperature variations indicating moisture intrusion, insulation gaps, and electrical hotspots. This non-invasive technology reveals hidden problems in walls, roofs, and mechanical systems. Our certified inspectors interpret thermal patterns to identify potential failures before they become costly emergencies, enhancing property safety and energy efficiency.
Commercial Inspection
Commercial property assessments cover structural integrity, mechanical systems, and code compliance for office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial facilities. Our reports include maintenance cost projections and due diligence documentation. We evaluate roofing, drainage, electrical panels, and HVAC systems to support investment decisions and risk management strategies for commercial real estate transactions.
Condo Inspection
Specialized condo inspections examine individual units and shared building systems. We test electrical outlets, HVAC performance, and plumbing fixtures while evaluating common area maintenance. Our reports highlight code violations and safety concerns that could affect ownership costs. We also assess appliance functionality and structural elements to identify potential liability issues for condominium buyers.
New Construction Inspection
Pre-drywall and final inspections ensure new construction meets quality standards and building codes. We verify proper installation of electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems before walls are closed. Our phase inspections identify construction defects early, reducing remediation costs. We document material quality and workmanship to protect buyers from future structural or mechanical failures in newly built properties.
