Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections examine hundreds of components from foundation to roof. We use thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture issues and provide interactive reports with video documentation. Certified inspectors identify safety hazards and costly repairs while offering repair estimates and maintenance recommendations. Our reports exceed industry standards with detailed analysis of electrical systems, HVAC, plumbing, and structural integrity.
Thermal Imaging
We employ FLIR Thermal Imaging technology to identify temperature anomalies indicating moisture intrusion and energy inefficiencies. This non-invasive method detects hidden leaks behind walls and ceilings by analyzing thermal mass differences. Our inspectors interpret thermal patterns to pinpoint issues invisible to the naked eye, providing critical insights for maintaining structural integrity and reducing energy costs through improved insulation.
Moisture Detection
Our moisture detection service combines thermal imaging with physical testing to identify water intrusion sources. We assess humidity levels, check plumbing leaks, and evaluate drainage systems. The inspection documents wet areas through temperature differentials and provides remediation guidance. We emphasize mold prevention strategies and ventilation improvements while explaining moisture movement dynamics in Central Oregon's climate.
Pool Inspections
This visual inspection evaluates pool components including plaster surfaces, coping edges, and filtration systems. We check electrical safety features, fencing compliance, and equipment functionality while noting visible damage. The service identifies potential repair costs for pumps, heaters, and plumbing systems but excludes underground leak detection. Clients receive maintenance recommendations to preserve pool longevity and safety.
Pre-listing Inspections
Designed to streamline home sales, these inspections identify potential buyer concerns before listing. We document repair needs to prevent negotiation delays and provide sellers with competitive advantages. The service includes repair cost estimates and disclosure guidance while helping sellers understand buyer perspectives. Our reports help sellers price properties realistically and reduce post-offer contingencies through proactive issue resolution.
