General Home Inspection
By selecting this type of inspection you will receive a professional standards based inspection that is completed in accordance with the standards of practice for the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors. This inspection is a visual only, the report is written in a narrative format but does not include digital photographs. Click here to download a copy of the Standards of Practice.

Infrared Moisture Survey
Infrared thermography is a powerful non-invasive means of observing a building. Infrared cameras see "heat", our natural eyes see "light", therefore infrared cameras by definition can see what our eyes cannot see. In the application of moisture surveys, building materials that are wet will be subjected to the process of evaporation and therefore be represented as a "cooler" image on the LCD screen. This will alert the inspector that there is a "suspect" area and it will be documented using infrared photography and natural photography in the report. This survey can be combined with a general home inspection to include an infrared survey of the buildings walls, ceilings, and floor for moisture. (see our infrared page for more information on this technology)

Infared Electrical Survey
Infrared thermography is a powerful non-invasive means of observing a building. Infrared cameras see "heat", our natural eyes see "light", therefore infrared cameras by definition can see what our eyes cannot see. In the application of electrical surveys, overheated breakers, switches, or outlets will "glow" when they are relatively warmer than the surrounding environment. This relative temperature will provide meaningful information in the observation of some critical electrical safety concerns.

Infrared Insulation and HVAC Survey

With skyrocketing energy costs wall and ceiling insulation has become a hot topic. Infrared thermography is a powerful non-invasive means of observing a building. Infrared cameras see "heat", our natural eyes see "light", therefore infrared cameras by definition can see what our eyes cannot see. In the application of insulation surveys, walls and ceilings that have missing insulation will appear as a different color (representing a different temperature band). This will alert the inspector that this area is "suspect" and may require additional testing to confirm missing insulation. The HVAC survey will include observation of the air temperature at the return and supply to check that the unit is operating in its manufacturers specified range. This service will include observation of the flue/chimney as it passes through the ceiling for proper clearance. Flues and chimneys can reach temperatures of 300 F, when in close contact to drywall or framing this is a fire hazard.
