Home Inspections

Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and structural components. Using advanced thermal imaging technology, we identify hidden issues like moisture intrusion and energy inefficiencies. Clients receive detailed reports with maintenance recommendations to protect their investment.

New Construction Inspections

We inspect newly built homes during construction phases to ensure quality standards are met. Our licensed inspectors verify proper installation of systems and components, checking for potential defects that could lead to future problems. This helps buyers confirm their investment meets all specifications.

Thermal Imaging

This technology detects temperature variations in building materials to identify moisture damage, electrical hotspots, and insulation gaps. Our certified thermographers use FLIR systems to reveal hidden structural issues invisible to the naked eye, providing critical data for informed decisions.

Termite Inspections

Conducted by licensed third-party pest control professionals, these inspections identify wood-destroying organisms and structural damage. We provide detailed documentation required for real estate transactions and insurance purposes, helping protect properties from costly infestations.

One-Year Warranty Inspections

Performed after the first year of occupancy, these inspections check for foundation settling issues and system performance. We verify warranty coverage for appliances and building components, ensuring homeowners understand maintenance requirements for continued protection.
