What We Inspect and Why
Inspected Systems
A home inspection involves a visual assessment of the home's key structures, systems, and components that are both visible and safely accessible. Since purchasing a home is often the largest investment you'll make, a thorough inspection is crucial. An inspector can identify and document defects, some of which may not be immediately apparent to you as a buyer. These issues can range from minor repairs or replacements to more serious damage or potential safety and health risks.

Thermal Imaging
I utilize thermal imaging to enhance the accuracy and depth of my inspections. Thermal imaging allows me to detect temperature variations behind walls, ceilings, and other surfaces that aren’t visible to the naked eye. This technology is crucial for identifying hidden issues like moisture intrusion, electrical hotspots, or insulation gaps, which could lead to costly repairs or safety hazards if left unchecked. By using thermal imaging, I can provide a more thorough evaluation of the home, ensuring you have a clearer understanding of its overall condition.
