What To Expect During Your Home Inspection And The Internachi® Standards Of Practice We Follow
Our home inspections are always completed in the best interest of our clients. Our job is to serve you!
The home inspector will usually take 3 to 4 hours +/- to perform a detailed inspection of the home or building to find visible defects and safety hazards. A home inspection includes the roof, flashing, chimneys, gutters, exterior siding, foundation, grading/drainage, structural components, basement, crawlspace, attic, insulation, ventilation, heating, fireplaces, air conditioning, walls, ceilings, doors, windows, floors, steps/stairs, installed appliances, plumbing, water heaters, electrical systems, garages/carports, decks, driveways, walkways, and sprinkler systems. During our inspection, we use several specialized tools including drones, thermal imaging technology, moisture meters, electrical meters/testers, infrared temperatures, gas leak detectors and more. We also search for the visible presence of fungus/mold growth and for damage from moisture or possible wood destroying insects such as termites, ants, beetles, carpenter bees, etc.
Inspection Tools
Specialized Inspection Tools

Drone Inspections
Our DJI drones take professional HD quality photos and videos to find possible defects on the roof coverings. Our preferred roof inspection method is to walk the roof, because by walking the roof we can find potential "soft" spots. We do utilize drones as needed to inspect certain roofs that are significantly tall, steep or slick for safety.
Infrared Thermal Imaging Technology
Thermal imaging cameras used during a home inspection can help detect problems such as moisture intrusion, plumbing leaks, roof leaks, poor or absent insulation, pest infestation, HVAC issues, electrical system overheating, and more.
