Home Inspections

Pre-Listing: Anyone selling their home needs to get a home inspection - it’s inevitable. But getting one before listing your property puts you ahead of the game. Addressing any deficiencies in the home before buyers find them helps increase the value of your home and reduce the time it’s on the market.

Pre-Purchase: Getting a Pre-Purchase Inspection is just smart. It reduces the risk of unexpected and costly surprises, and helps you feel completely comfortable with your home purchase decision. In fact, many clients have saved thousands of dollars during renegotiations based on report findings, while others have avoided purchasing a "money pit". Hiring an unbiased, third-party inspector ensures that the home inspection does what it’s meant to do - protect you, the homeowner.

Thermal Imaging: Despite what you might have seen on television or in movies, thermographic imaging cameras can't see behind walls. Instead, they detect temperature variations related to heat and moisture along building surfaces. Anything with a temperature above absolute zero emits heat. A thermal camera is able to detect this heat and create a thermal image based on that information. A qualified professional then examines the thermal image and assesses what's potentially going on behind the surface that’s causing the temperature variations in the thermal image. Thermographic imaging cameras can detect serious problems the naked eye can’t see, such as:

• Plumbing Leaks
• Air Duct Leaks
• Moisture Intrusion
• Inadequate or Non-Existent Insulation
• Heating and Cooling Losses
• Abnormal Heat from an Appliance or Electrical System
• Unwanted Animals
• Poor Construction
